Is Orange's exclusivity over the sale of iPhone 4 in Romania?

Corporate customers of Vodafone Romania received these days notifications by which they were announced that they can purchase the iPhone 3GS terminal through the operator when renewing their subscription or new subscription. Today they also appeared information regarding the prices but according Financial newspaper Orange claims that at the moment it is the only operator that officially sells the iPhone 3GS in Romania.

Orange Romania representatives say, on the other hand, that the company's relationship with Apple has not changed. "Orange is the only operator that officially sells the iPhone in Romania", the operator's representatives told ZF.

Orange claims that it still has exclusivity for the iPhone, and Vodafone call-center employees say that the iPhone does not officially exist in Vodafone's offer. Could Vodafone have made this move with the iPhone 3GS just to satisfy some of its customers who are dissatisfied with the fact that the operator does not have an iPhone on offer? To sell Vodafone iPhone in black? It's hard to say, but Ziarul Financiar claims that Vodafone could announce the official launch of the iPhone 3GS in Romania tomorrow.

Another important thing to mention, in the e-mail sent by Vodafone to its customers, it is specified that the iPhone 4 is not yet in their offer and there is no information when it will be, but the operator does not say that it will never be in the offer, so portita is also open to a possible sale of the iPhone 4 terminal.
