T-Mobile Sold 100,000 iPhones in Germany
Rene Obermann, Deutsche Telekom chief executive, announced that the company has sold so far more than 100,000 iPhones in Germany. The announcement was made during Deutsche Telekom’s annual meeting and Hamid Akhavan, Deutsche Telekom's board member at T-Mobile, confirmed for Dow Jones Newswires that the sales figures are in line with the company’s internal targets.

Last month T-Mobile, the mobile arm of Deutsche Telekom, announced that the 8GB version of iPhone, will be sold for 99 euros as a part of a promotion that runs from April 7 to June 30. Through this promotion T-Mobile hopes to win new customers, but in order to obtain this price they will have to sign up for a two-year contract that offers an 89 euros monthly plan.

Additionally, T-Mobile offers three other contracts: Complete S under which iPhone costs 249 while the monthly price is 29 euros, Complete M, through which the consumers can buy the iPhone for 199 euros and a monthly price of 49 euros, and Complete L, with the iPhone priced at 149 euros and a 69 euros monthly price. Meanwhile the price of the 16 GB version will remain unchanged, and the phone will be sold for 499 euros.

T-Mobile’s decision to offer the iPhone for these prices was seen as an indication that the new version, the 3G iPhone, will be soon launched in Europe.

Last year, speaking about the 3G iPhone, Steve Jobs noted that this kind of device will need a new battery, but he didn’t give any details. According to the some rumors the new iPhone could be slightly different from the first version.

It is widely believed that Steve Jobs will announced the 3G iPhone during his WWDC keynote, scheduled for Monday, June 9 at Moscone West.

Apple is currently expanding its market all over the world, and over the past months, it went on from an exclusive deal with one carrier to deals with European carriers, who brought the iPhone in U.K., Germany and France in November 2007 and to Ireland and Australia in March 2008.

Also, earlier the month, Vodafone revealed its agreement with Apple to introduce the iPhone to ten more markets: Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. Earlier this week, it was announced that other carriers (SingTel, Bharti Airtel, Globe and Optus) are ready to bring the iPhone to Singapore, India, Philippines and Australia.

Two days ago, Apple announced that the iPhone is no longer available on its online stores in U.K. and U.S., without giving any insight on whether it plans to restock.
