Deutsche Telekom Sold 70,000 iPhones in 11 Weeks
This represents a much smaller number of iPhones sold as compared to the 70,000 iPhone sales in 1 month in France. Despite this, the head of T-Mobile Germany states that "the iPhone is by far the most sold multimedia device in T-Mobile's portfolio."
The German launch of the iPhone was marred by a legal battle, in which Vodafone won a temporary injunction against T-Mobile from selling the iPhone without an unlocked option. This injunction was later overturned. At Macworld, Apple announced that 4 million iPhones had been sold worldwide, and they are confident about reaching their 10 million goal by the end of 2008.

Would really like 3G, but I can wait.
The average customer is presented with a free phone here on a great tariff or an expensive iPhone on a crap tariff. It's not rocket science as to what the masses will choose.
thanks

Hey, hope someone can clarify something for me. is the 10 million iphone goal from june 07 - dec 08 or is it from jan 08 - dec 08.
I'd assume June 07 - December 08. Jobs did say "we want to sell 10m before the end of 2008".
:p
"the iPhone is by far the most sold multimedia device in T-Mobile's portfolio."
I wonder how they define multimedia device? Presumably they could define it however they want to make sure the iPhone is the number one device in that category!
- In contract with a different provider
- Waiting on version 2 and 3g
- Waiting for a cheaper price
What this tells me is that iphone sales will be huge in the long run. As the price goes down and the feature set goes up, more and more people will make the jump.

Basically. Pretty much any phones these days will play music, browse the internet, etc so are those "multimedia devices" too? And does this include "smartphones"??Apple has tons of room to cut the price on the iphone to spur sales. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I know wants one, but they are all waiting for one reason or another:
- In contract with a different provider
- Waiting on version 2 and 3g
- Waiting for a cheaper price

[*]The price
[*]the price models of T-Mobile. The cheapest contract you get is 49€ monthly and that is too much for most people. The price for a call per minute is also expensive
[*]People don't want a two year contract. It should be one year only.
[*]The lack of UMTS has certainly made people decide against the device
[*]T-Mobile/Apple didn't do a good job of promoting the iPhone here in Germany
