T-Mobile picks up iPhone contract in Germany
Jul-28-2007
Ars Technica points to an unconfirmed report in Germany???s Rheinische Post (RP) that Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Mobile won out over rival Vodafone for the right to sell iPhone in Germany. Apparently the rest of Europe is still in play. This makes me wonder which network international travelers with T-Mobile iPhones will see when they power up their iPhones in the United States. T-Mobile has had a roaming agreement with Cingular. I don???t know if that???s still the case, because the area in which my T-Mobile phones once switched to Cingular -- San Francisco -- now registers T-Mobile as the carrier. I can???t imagine AT&T sitting still for any iPhone connecting to anything but its network in the States. But if each region really is subject to a bidding war, perhaps AT&T doesn???t have a say in who gets to sell iPhone overseas. I do know that Europeans will not sit still for having their phones go dead outside their service area. One portion of the Rheinische Post piece that I did not trouble to translate also decried the fact that Germans won???t get their choice of networks and tariffs (the more accurate term for rate plan). They???re no more...

Is T-Mobile???s @Home What iPhone Oughtta Be?
Jul-05-2007
David Pogue writing in the New York Times this morning pities T-Mobile making an announcement of a new service in the same week that the iPhone becomes broadly available. Actually, from a PR POV it worked out pretty well since T-Mobile got the NYTimes story and it???s favorable: ??????its new product may be as game-changing as Apple???s. ???It???s called T-Mobile...

Good David Pogue style: Man, oh man. How???d you like to have been a PR person making a cellphone announcement last week, just as the iPhone storm struck? You???d have had all the impact of a gnat in a hurricane. But hard to believe though it may be, T-Mobile did make an announcement last week. And even [...]
