OOoh - interesting - i would anticipate it will launch in UK at same time - but probably with a different partner (Vodafone). Keep yer eyes peeled for the announcement!
tmobile does do 3g in germany, and that means a 3g iphone will come soon... its ok though, i love my iphone
Absolutely.
Here in Italy, operators have spent so much on UMTS (both in marketing and network infrastructures), that I don't think they're going to push anything that is not 3g.
Not talking of Three, that was born as a UMTS-only operator, which is causing some competition to the incumbent operators.
Time will tell
...or pissed on hopefully
Maybe T-Mobile in the US will secretly sell its customers working SIM cards for iPhones when they visit the stores asking about iPhone hehehe
Only one price? It could mean nothing, or it could mean the 4GB model is being dropped.
According to some "exit polls", 95% of people were buying the 8GB model. If true, the 4GB is likely to be one of Apple's shortest lived products ever.

I sure hope it comes to T-Mobile here in the states, I'm very happy with my T-Mobile service and don't want to switch.
Well, I guess the "glass half emtpy/half full" theory applies here.
You think it is a horribly expensive phone and I see it as an incredibly
inexpensive Touch/Widescreen iPod/Phone/PDA/Storage/Internet/Entertainment/Mobile productivity device.
..<snip>..Still a horribly expensive phone, but we've already established that a long time ago

For Germans
T-Mobile spent 8,48 billion € for his german UMTS licence! So it would be clever to expand network usage with such a device!

Why do so many people in The US think they deserve 3G before everyone else? I think its about time Europe sees some love before The US, and the main reason Apple hasn't gone 3G in the states is because there is hardly any coverage of 3G in the US and Europe is practically fully covered with 3G signal. Fair enough?
So does this mean that the US will see another model before the end of the year? My guess was that Apple would have a iPhone 2.0 model released [or 3G model] before Xmas.
Remember that story a few weeks ago about how Apple might have a hard time finding a cell phone carrier in Europe, that the major carriers were balking at the restrictions of Apple's license?
Well just as predicted they caved. Were they going to pass on the the chance to make a lot of money and be in on the ground floor of something great? Didn't think so.

There's no T-mobile in Spain.
I'd pretty much prefer Vodafone.
The big players in Europe: Vodafone (UK), Orange (France), T-Mobile (Germany), O2/Movistar (Spain). But I guess Vodafone i hte most widespread.
Wonder if Tmobile users over here in the us buys the german version if it will work over here!!! Maybe Good luck for the Tmobile users!!!

A definite NO for you, sorry.
They're basically 2 different companies under the same "roof".
Same in Europe with Vodafone; even tho they all share the same name, internally they can be very different companies. And you can see how Vodafone rip users off in Spain (same old plain business plan of all companies in spain) while in the UK you get decent phones and decent price plans (and I know UK users complaint but man, you should see the market in Spain)
I would not bet on 3G iPhone. The point here is, that T-Mobile also offers a good EDGE coverage, that Vodafone did not.
However, I had a talk with an employee and got it confirmed.
Other thing, the price. I would also not bet for 450 Euros, because most of Apple products are priced the same as in the U.S. that means 600 Dollar = 600 Euro. You can see this at nearly all products, i.e. the lowest iMac costs 999 USD and here it costs 999 Euros, a really bad thing because importing hardware is cheaper as buying it local.
