T-Mobile cutting iPhone prices?


Although T-Mobile Germany's very own iPhone plan page doesn't yet show any change, fscklog (German, Google translation) reports that the company is offering reduced pricing for the 8GB iPhone.

€99 up front, €29 per month
-- "Free" visual voicemail, 50 minutes voice time, 500MB data, €0.19 per SMS
-- €0.49 / 100MB additional data,

As you can see from the above table, the more money spend upfront on the handset, the cheaper / more inclusive the plans are (and vice versa).

Perhaps the most-interesting tidbit in their report is that these new special deals end on June 30.

Editor's note: Assuming T-Mobile will actually offer these plans, can we reasonably infer that new iPhones will arrive on July 1 or closely thereafter? Also, does this rejigging indicate that the Apple's freshman handset isn't selling as well as hoped?

Perhaps correct on both counts...
