I can’t help but smile when I read about TeliaSoneras “ace up their sleeve” in the fight for becoming the operator to sell the iPhone in Sweden. Imagine that: operators fighting over who should sell a phone!
Touch screen, nice GUI and a slick design: those are not the true innovations in the iPhone. The fact that it’s the manufacturer picking what operator will be allowed to sell their products. Now, that’s new.

Excactly what I’ve been saying! I wonder if this will have any long term affect on the operator / manufacturer relation in this business. Probably not.
