T-Mobile Confirms 3G iPhone in Austria?
According to Austrian newspaper Der Standard, T-Mobile Austria has confirmed the 3G iPhone. According to the article, T-Mobile announced at press conference in Vienna that the 3G (UMTS) version of the iPhone will soon be available and that Austria will be the test market for the new phone. Austria will reportedly be one of the first countries worldwide to receive the new phone. The new phone is also said to be available with more "flexible" pricing.
Few other details are provided and there appear to be no other reports of this press conference online. Meanwhile, Fscklog.com contacted T-Mobile Austria and their reply was (translated) "Yes, we plan to bring the iPhone with UMTS-support to market, but can't and are not allowed to say when yet."
Apple launched the original iPhone in Austria less than two months ago. There have been other recent reports that several European countries will be launching the 3G iPhone in the coming weeks to months.

T-Mobile is a great cell phone company with excellent customer service. I wish t-mobile was caring the iPhone here in the US. Once I switch from T-mobile to At&t I have been hating my phone service. ATT is just a rebrand of like 4 cell phone companies that never could do anything right. If Apple ever opens the iPhone to T-mobile in the US I would wait overnight outside of a T-mobile store so I could switch my number as fast a possible.

I think it's a pretty cool decision. The iPhone has generated so much buzz in Austria, it only makes sense. Perfect marketing would be, if T-mobile presented one to the Austrian chancellor.
(in case you don't know, there was a very intense debate over the Austrian chancellor using a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone)

Get rid of that revenue sharing nonsense which has alienated so many mobile providers. It hasn't proven to be a big hit else we would have seen the iPhone in all European countries.
Let us buy our phone unlocked in any EU state - as the law allows, and/or allow providers to discount the phone/provide for free as they do for any other suppliers.
Does Apple think Nokia and Sony-Ericsson would have become big players if they started asking their customers for a share of their revenues as well?

So how would existing customers upgrade to the new 3G phone? Do we have to wait until our 18month contract is up or can we transfer it to any new iPhone we buy?

yes, the European GSM market is more smart than other markets. Of course they could not sell **** at full prioce with no 3G in EU.

Update your phone whenever you want, your contract will just start over from the day you activated your new phone.
