Apple's iPhone Is Launched In France, Via Vietnam

Standing on the sidelines at a telecom conference in Hanoi, France Telecom's chief executive Didier Lombard said Orange has won the iPhone contract.

After the launch of Apple's iPhone was shouted to eager audiences in the U.K. and Germany in elaborate celebrations this week, the launch of the phone in France has been revealed in a whisper -- on the sidelines of a trade show in Vietnam.

As expected for months, the Orange service provider, a unit of France Telecom, has signed an exclusive agreement with Apple to market the iPhone in France.

Standing on the sidelines at a telecommunications conference in Hanoi, France Telecom's chief executive Didier Lombard said Orange has won the contract. Parisians may get a more detailed unveiling Monday at the Apple Expo in Paris.

Orange hasn't issues availability dates, but reports say the device will debut Nov. 29.
