Deutsche Telekom Scores iPhone Deal

Monday, September 17th, 2007 at 8:05 AM - by

Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile cell phone service provider has apparently won a deal to carry Apple's iPhone in most every European country where it has a presence. The agreement means that T-Mobile will be able to offer the combination iPod and smart phone in Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Croatia, and Germany, according to MSNBC.

Just like AT&T does in the United States, T-Mobile will share iPhone-related revenues with Apple.

Apple will likely announce the deal with Deutsche Telekom, along with a similar deal with O2 for U.K. iPhone sales, at a press conference at the company's Regent Street store in London on Tuesday. Apple may also announce at the same time that Orange will offer the iPhone in France.

The iPhone is expected to sell for €399 (about US$552). In the U.S., the iPhone sells for US$399.

Well, don't know who is the source of this press release but T-Mobile is big in the Czech Republic too. No iPhones there? Ever? No wonder - we cannot enjoy most of the Apple products anyway - only very few of the online services is accessible for us. Shame on Apple for this. But nevertheless, I just changed from PC to MacBook:)

But the percentage of Czechoslovakians who speak Czechoslovakian is much higher than in New York City. And they make much better beer. Or rather, beer that is actually potable.

An award, please, for the most irrelevant posting by a Guest today.

Idiot.
