In a recent interview, T-Mobile Germany CEO Philipp Humm announced that, although they won't be offering a free iPhone like UK company <a href="http://www.iphonealley.com/news/o2-offer-discounted-free-iphone-3g-handsets-exchange-high-end-calling-plans" target="_blank">O2</a>, those who sign up for their €89/month (US$136) plan will be able to purchase an iPhone for the price of just €1, or about US$1.50. The CEO said that it was an attempt to reach a broader market. [via <a href="http://www.i4u.com/article18133.html" target="_blank">I4U</a>]<!--break-->

I can't wait for iPhone's exclusivity with at&t to end. I was much happier with tmobile's service

umm he is talking about T Mobile Germany.

Exclusivity will continue with AT&T for some time yet I imagine.

It won't continue for "some time" but rather for a set time. I can't remember the exact date, but I believe it ends in either 2009 or 2010 (I think it was 2010). I think it will be interesting to see what happens when the exclusivity ends. Can you imagine T-mobile and ATT actually battling for your business, giving incentives for switching, providing attractive data plan and sms plan pricing, etc., all in an effort to compete for your business. We can only hope!!
