A posting on Macslash questions Cingular's claim to be exclusive carrier for the iTunes phone, and cites my TechStuff article as evidence.

In fact, Cingular did have an exclusive on launch day, and will continue to be the exclusive U.S. carrier for the iTunes phone. Rogers Wireless, the exclusive Canadian carrier, gets the phone later this month.

Here's the list of international partners from Motorola's press release:

U.S. -- today, exclusively with Cingular
U.K. -- expected to be available first with Carphone Warehouse in mid-September and with O2, Orange, Virgin Mobile, BT Mobile and other top retailers by late September
France – expected to be available by late September through Bouygues
Italy -- expected to be available by late September through distributor and operator channels
Canada -- expected to be available in mid- to late-September with Rogers Wireless
Hong Kong -- expected to be available by late September through multiple retail outlets and operator channels
Australia, Singapore and the Philippines -- expected to be available late September through early October through retail and operator channels
Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and other markets throughout the world -- expected to be available in the fourth quarter
