TeliaSonera said Tuesday that it will begin selling the Apple iPhone in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia later this year.
Tuesday's announcement came just under two weeks after French wireless carrier Orange, which already sells the iPhone in France, said it had agreed to market the phone in more than a dozen countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
British mobile phone carrier Vodafone said it would distribute the handset to customers in 10 countries by the end of the year, including South Africa and Australia.
Apple has also sealed deals with providers in Asia to distribute the iPhone, launched in June, to Singapour, India, the Philippines and is in secret talks to sell it in Japan and China.
Apple is targeting sales of 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008.
The iPhone maker is widely expected to launch a new 3G version of its iPhone next month after the original iPhone failed to win a wide following in Europe.
