iPhone to be available via T-Mobile in Germany

As predicted the iPhone will be carried in Germany by T-Mobile. Apple's press release states that the 8GB iPhone will be available for €300 starting on November 9, the same date the phone will be available in the UK. The iPhone will not be sporting 3G, but it will have the expected update that brings functionality like the Wi-Fi iTunes music store as found on the iPod Touch. T-Mobile will be extending it's EDGE coverage in Germany to be completed by the end of 2007. There's no information available right now about rate plans, although the press release does reference T-Mobile's extensive Wi-Fi hotspot network. We imaging that there might be a deal in place to provide unlimited data access via this network as was done via the Cloud Wi-Fi network in the UK, but there's no confirmation about that either.
