Telecom italia Mobile TIM offering unlocked iPHoneItaly's going to have some competitive iPhone sales later this year. With Vodafone already on-board to bring the 3G iPhone to Italy as part of a 10-country iPhone launch, the juggernaut wireless provider is an iPhone-force to be reckoned with. But, that's not going to stop smaller Italian carrier Telecom Italia Movil (TIM) from giving it their best shot with an Italian iPhone offering of their very own.

TIM has announced that it "has signed a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Italy later this year."  There's no mention of whether TIM's Apple iPhone will be the current-generation iPhone or the next-generation iPhone capable of 3G network data speeds. Previous speculation has hinted at TIM launching the 3G iPhone without contract or network-lock. We can't wait to see if Apple will indeed let TIM launch an unlocked 3G iPhone alongside Vodafone's offering…
