Some of you are undoubtedly insanely tired of the European iPhone talk by now, but this is one of the last posts about the subject for a while. I hope so, because I’m kind of sick of it myself. I know most of my readers are from the US, but let me abuse my control as an author this one time, just for all the Scandinavians out there. After all, the Apple fan community is global.

Now let’s get to the point, shall we? Nordic telecommunications companies TeliaSonera and Telenor are currently chatting with Apple about Scandinavian deals. Both say, of course, that they are very much interested in being the phones exclusive carrier. But who will it be and when will it happen?

They say they’re not likely to offer the iPhone this year so I assume it’ll happen early next year. As for who, I’m very unsure. TeliaSonera is a real giant here in Sweden, with huge portions of the market for cell phone and DSL plans. I guarantee you they’ll fight hard for this offer. On the other hand, I’ve heard a lot of talk about Telenor lately and, well, it sounds like they might just win.

TeliaSonera is a great company that offers stable services throughout my own country and I personally have more trust for them than Telenor. But for me, it’s really a 50/50 probability even though I’m hoping for Telia. I’ll keep my eyes open but I think time will have to tell.

I admit it though, Telenor has a nicer logo.
