Leaked German T-Mobile 3G iPhone ad?

Speaking as a european I hope it a 3g version does get here very soon.

I am desperate for an iphone, but I'm hoping the carriers can make it 'cost effective' for most of us. I'm not sure about the US but here in the UK our mobiles (or cellphones as you may call it) are subsidised by our networks, so although I may buy a £200 Nokia, I get it for free because I'm signed into 12 (or more increasingly - 18) month contract.

However, if I can buy a iphone subsidised by my network (great!) or if I have to pay £400 for my iphone (a very expensive phone!) then I want cheaper calls and no tie-in for a set period.

So lets hope the networks take note, and get these iphones, but also give us europeans a good deal.

I will bet anyone that the European phone will be 3G. It has to be. Nothing else will be accepted here. Even my little SonyEricsson is 3G.

#25, because that feature isn't even on the iPhone just yet - why would it be on their tester phones in germany?

if they come out with a 3G 16GB iphone, will they give another 100$ credit to the 600 club?

Wouldn't they have included the iTunes store button as that is a world wide feature which will have been out for almost 3 months by the time this phone was released.

I'm happy at least one person noticed that "iPhone XL" is a tarif rather than the phone's model number.

"Z.B. im Tarif iPhone XL" means, "For example, if you buy one with the 'iPhone XL' plan

That strongly implies that the iPhone's price will vary depending on which plan you get. That is normal with T-Mobile in Germany. One of the Samsung phones they sell costs €79,95 with a €19,00/month plan, €4,94 with a €28,00/month plan, or €1,00 with a €58,00 or more plan.

People have pointed out inconsistencies in the ad. When I'm doing graphic design work as a draft, I don't always have the right high res files for what I'm doing, so I will often substitute close enough ones for a proposal, and swap in the right ones when the client gives them to me. On the other hand, this design is not exactly artistic, and looks like it would've been done by their usual boring agency, so I would expect them to have the graphics on hand.

The advertisment is a fake. You can easily see at by the wrong typo that is used.

For the 3G iPhone to be out in the U.S., it would have to have hit the FCC for approval by now. Plus was the ban on Qualcomm chips ever lifted?

If the iPhone isn't all that the ad says in Europe it will not sell well...

Things are highly competitive over here, I can go down the high street today and walk away with an N95 as a *free* upgrade on my o2 contract.

Of course, I'm holding out for the iPhone 3G :)

This is a FAKE. Absolutely 100%. There won't be a 16 GB iPod Phone here in Europe, not at that price. Makes no sense. But nicely done.
