I was in a T-Mobile store today in Munich and I asked if the iPhone tariff was out yet. I was told it will be announced on 2nd Nov (i.e. 1 week before launch).
So until then there is no point getting worked up.

The T-Mobile store (T-Punkt Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen) around the corner had an iPhone-counter installed 2 weeks ago. Looks pretty nice 🙄

Oi crusher stay out of that particular T-Mobile store - that's the one I'll be on the 9th and we don't want them to run out of iPhone's don't we? 😛
Seriously though: I don't mind 50,- per month at all but they have to offer more than three calls a day and one - get this people - 1(.3) text messages a day.
Nevertheless, the rumor seems credible and might be the real reason why they did not publish the plans when El Jobso showed up in Berlin: Yesterday UK: 200mins, gazillion of text messages, today Germany: 100mins, 40 text message - suck it up (German) people! 🙁
My only hope is that some bozo made up those rate plans based on the currently available plans, which seems stupid given that the phone isn't subsidized.
I'm in a tight spot: My existing contract is ending on the 9th of November - so after they announce the plans I have to have a "fallback" plan to buy a different phone. Any ideas?

No its even worse. After 200MB/1GB/5GB they limit your bandwidth to 64kbit even on Wi-Fi. These prices are total rip off even for German standards.
Edit: Oh and these prices are official http://www.t-mobile.de/iphone/tarife.jsp
