Movistar nabs iPhone in Spain

Apple's relentless quest to spread the iPhone to every corner of the universe has officially nabbed yet another carrier. Movistar has been announced as an official partner for Spain, though no clues have been given about the launch date -- a common trend with the iPhone carrier partnership press releases as of late, we've noticed -- and the best that interested parties can do right now is sign up to be notified when more information becomes available. Any suckers out there want to bet us that they'll be launching the EDGE model? No?

"we are already 331 impatient ones" [worldlingo free translation]

haha thats cool. i dont know spanish. but it seems to be a counter of how many people have signed up for notifications. if you leave the screen open it updates the number. neat

For what it's worth, I was the one who discovered this microsite badly hidden under a "index2.html" filename.

I sent the news to 2 apple-related blogs from Spain, this was a little bit after midnight, by the morning Movistar noticed that people were visiting the unfinished microsite and took it down.

Almost 25 thousand people registered by then, here's my original tweet:
