Willkomen in Deutschland, iPhone

While poor Nik finishes a restless, cold night in Regent Street, the first European iPhones are already in the hands of eager customers in Köln (Cologne), Germany. Macnotes.de has the pictures and the story from the single-store T-Mobile midnight madness launch; online sales in Germany also commenced at midnight, and retail sales across the rest of the country are scheduled for later today. One bonus for the crowd (estimated at 300 or more) of shoppers at the introduction in Köln -- free pretzels from T-Mobile. Yum!

You can see a reasonable Google translation of the Macnotes page here. To all our German readers and new iPhone owners: Es is ganz toll, das Sie konnen jetzt die iPhone Erfahrung haben; sag uns, wie es geht mit die neuen Super-Handys.

I bought my unlocked iphone at a US company called www.chronochrono.com

It works perfect on all our networks here in Germany and Europe...

I think the price for the phone and the contract are OK. It is not cheap but definitely reasonable for us here in germany.
I have to wait until friday to get mine since i am currently on a business trip... :-(

:D The flag is on the right side -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany

@ICEBrk- Oh, right, I forgot- Jobs takes a cut from the monthly fees.

@ Jamar, alas in Germany T-Mobile tends to be the most expensive carrier in almost all cases; though I agree, in the states they're decent. This however is further inflated as the iPhone rates are even more excessive due to the Apple tax, you know jobs has to have his share, and why would the carrier carry that burden when they can just charge more knowing the "Volk" will pay for the iPhone.

Sehr geehrter Herr Jobs,

Wie schön für die Deutschen, daß sie endlich das iPhone kaufen können. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie bitte Ihren Arsch in Gang bringen könnten und das iPhone auch in Kanada anbieten würden. Kanada - nördlich von Ihnen? Hinter Oregon und Washington? Nord Amerika hört nicht hinter Redmond auf!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Canada (have you heard of it?)

Stone (and everyone else) -- headline fixed, despite numerous suggestions that I leave my "charming" German mistakes alone.

By the way, Mr. I'll correct your grammar but still type "It` s pathetic" with an accent in place of an apostrophe -- fix your attitude, wouldja mind? Thanks a bunch.

Michael! Fix the headline. It`s pathetic to get a three word sentence wrong!

Pointing the flag: It is not the coloring, it is the direction - Flip 90 ° to the right and it is ok! :-)

Pointing to the english of michael: You are really good in it and in my point of view the german language seems to be one of the hardest one - and: There is not much logical sense. (take a look at the numbers: it is turned around compared to all language roots ;-)

about the pink Seller: I am not shure if this wether if it was the right choice or not. Well the service got the best fame, you can get (This may be a sort of irony) so it would be non-typical if it changes because they got a new partner - and there many people knowing the pink giant as an monopolist with an unshure feeling. So there weill be a lot of people waiting for the unbundled versions.

But lbnl: Thanks for your Welcome!

"That's a Belgium Flag!!! LoL The German one is black, red, yellow top to bottom not left to right... Ignorant Americans... ;-)"

Ignorant German! ;-)
The displayed flag is clearly a vertically hanging german flag. For your Information: The belgian flag has the yellow stripe in the middle between black and red!
