Apple and T-Mobile have released information about the rate plans for the iPhone in Germany, so if you're in Germany, and interested in buying an iPhone, we're guessing you will be quite interested. All plans include unlimited data (of course), Visual Voicemail (right), and access to T-Mobile's 8000 Wi-Fi hot spots in Germany—whaaa? This is, on the face of it, roughly the same deal as Apple struck with O2 in the UK, and which our fearless leader Mr. Snell mourned the lack of in the US.
In terms of phone usage, however, that €49 gets you just 100 minutes and 40 text messages. You can also shell out €69 to jump up to 200 minutes and 150 text messages, or €89 for the grand daddy of 1000 minutes and 300 text messages. I'm not sure exactly how this compares to what German phone users usually get—a quick check of T-Mobile Germany's site (thoughtfully rendered into English) shows a 100 minute plan going for €28, a 200 minute plan for €38, and a 1000 minute plan for €68. And, of course, the iPhone plans get you some text messages, unlimited data, and hot spots thrown in, which doesn't seem too shabby.
