T-Mobile to Sell iPhone in Germany: November 1st?

Does anyone know if Tmo in Germany is going to also start offering their
wireless calling deal there too? The plan in the US is for TMo to start
offering an add-on service where if you are in a wifi spot, your call
switches seamlessly in mid-call to being voip'd. Apparently they won't
deduct airtime minutes for such calls.

In many ways the iphone would be rockin' if you could be off ATT's
net, so it would be a marriage made in heaven for iphone+tmo-by-wifi.
If the German deal can show a synergy for these services, I would be
unsurprised by some sweet intro offers for apple+tmo-with-wifi.

Tmo's wifi thing is 10$/mo for the rollout period, and after that
I think it's going to be 20. I can see a fair number of people
dropping their home phone, and also leaving their cable-company voip
if this were available.

So excited about Tmo!

Looks like the iphone would not be for sale only at apple stores or shops of the network provider.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Please say this is a fake.
I was already pissed that T-Mobile would be 'in charge' of German iPhones, but MediaMarkt? Are they insane? That store sucks!

I hate my country. :(

It is not fake. The promotion can be seen in mediamarkt's website here. They don't mention anything in regards to pricing or date of availability though.
 
MediaMarkt may not be the best place but it's in Apple's best interest to have as many sales outlets as possible.

Media Markt and Saturn (owned by the same company) are currently partnering with Apple. Apple has Store in Stores at Saturn.

BUT: Media Markt and Saturn are strictly separated! Only Saturn has Apple "Shops" with full range sortiment, yet. Media Markt ist just selling iPods and nothing else... up to date.

That is just not true. In my next Media Markt they sell iMacs, Macbooks and Macbook Pros + Cinema Displays. They are just not featured in any special way. But e.g. the Macbook and Macbook Pro just sits in line with all the crap.

Really? In Saturn markets i know there are special apple corners - like shop in shop. I can't remember any Media Markt selling Apple computers.
 
There's a shop in shop at the local MediaMarkt. Saturn....I don't know, I don't do Saturn.
Anyway, this blows.
