The Big Losers of the day are the APRs

Although the day has been excellent for Orange and the major retailers selling the iPhone, the biggest losers of the day have been the Apple Premium Resellers who, unlike in a number of other countries, have not had the right to sell it from the date of its release.
We're unaware of what will ultimately happen in our country, but this absence risks putting the relationship between Apple and it's "privileged" resellers a little more on edge.
