Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile will have exclusive rights to distribute the Apple iPhone in Germany. The Germans will not be happy with the price tag of owning an iPhone: 399 Euros or about $554. I suppose the rumored T-Mobile ad was slightly off by 100 Euros. It remains to be seen whether Germany will line up for the €399 or wait for the price cut. Being Western Europeans who are used to paying premium for goods and services, we suspect they will line up.
Note: Apple will get a cut from data and voice revenues from the iPhone. If T-Mobile gets the 3G version of iPhone,it will only mean more revenues going Apple’s way.
