Nordic, Baltic markets get in on iPhone action with TeliaSonera

This week in As the iPhone Turns, the Nordic and Baltic markets welcome news of an impending iPhone rollout. TeliaSonera announced this morning that it had signed an agreement with Apple, and that it would introduce the device to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. As usual, the timing is nonspecific: "later this year."

The news follows a flurry of announcements from carriers around the world, dying to get their names out ahead of one another since some countries will soon have more than one iPhone carrier (and therefore some actual competition). Check out Iljitsch's handy guide to iPhone domination to see a comprehensive list of where the iPhone is expected to be, officially, some unspecified time in 2008.

There's only one and a half(ish) weeks left before June 9, when Steve Jobs and Co. are expected to announce the next-gen iPhone (that will presumably be making its way around the globe). Has anyone created a WWDC countdown app yet?
