Germans can get an iPhone 3G for only 1 euro

Believe it or not, Germans can buy the brand new 3G iPhone 8 GB version for only 1 euro - and a fat T-Mobile contract. To be exact: users have to sign up for a monthly 69-euro service plan. By doing this, Apple probably wants the early majority to pick up the iPhone in a dazzling speed as a lot of teenagers and twenty-somethings can’t resist such a low price.
Operators like T-Mobile can easily subsidize the phones, as long consumers sign for a very lucrative contract. The 16-gigabyte version will start at 19.95 euros with an all-inclusive data plan costing 89 euros per month going up to 249.95 euros for a minimal 29 euros-per-month contract.
I wonder how many of the shiny phones they’ll ship in. One thing is for sure.. “Is that an iPhone…?” will soon be history.
I hope you like that post!

I am getting one but when you do the math, it still sure is expensive and will be cost-prohibitive for most people. That 8GB phone for €1 equals a total cost over the two year contract of €1656. Add the activation fee which is supposedly €25 (if you don’t already have a contract) plus that €1 and you get a total two year cost of €1682. When you see the numbers this way (and many will) I could see people opting for other phones.
By the way, if you go for the 16GB with the XL plan your total cost comes to €2180.95…..ouch!

Also, the new $199 iPhone is actually $160 more than the $399 iPhone it replaces :).
