At last, the iPhone hype is starting to down, and other news is starting to emerge! Having sold a rumoured 700,000 iPhones in the past 5 days, Apple are clearly pleased with themselves over the iPhone's launch. Not only was it the fastest selling mobile phone ever, it was also the fastest selling consumer electronics device ever. Now that's some going!

Looks like the hype machine really worked for Apple.

Before we leave the iPhone (at last!), though, a final word on which network operator will get it in the UK. After reports a few days ago suggesting it was going to be Vodafone, it now transpires that O2 has beaten the other UK mobile operators to it.

Whereas the other rumours were based on speculation from various files that were found hidden deep within the iPhone, this new report comes from none other than The Times, which is arguably a little more authoritative!
