The Bebo Mobile rumor has been making the rounds for months, during which time YouTube Mobile was rolled out and mobile social networking really began to build some steam. Originally it was rumored that the carrier O2 would land the deal, but on Wednesday Bebo will announce that it has partnered with Orange to offer a version on cellphones.

Due to the site's popularity in the UK, Bebo Mobile will go live there this summer, with expansion to other markets later in 2007. The feature set is vaguely similar to MySpace Mobile: you can edit your Bebo profile, update your blog and add friends from your phone. Presumably you'll also be able to access Bebo Mail, the internal messaging feature.
