…but don’t rush to buy it. According to Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile website, Apple’s iPhone, the 8GB version, will be sold for 99 euros as a part of a promotion that runs from April 7 to April 30. Through this promotion T-Mobile hopes to win new customers, but in order to obtain this price they will have to sign up for a two year contract that offers an 89 euros monthly plan. Additionally, T-Mobile offers three other contracts: Complete S under which iPhone costs 249 while the monthly price is 29 euros, Complete M, through which the consumers could buy the iPhone 199 euros and a monthly price of 49 euros, and Complete L, with the iPhone priced at 149 euros and a 69 euros monthly price.
Meanwhile the price of the 16 GB version will remain unchanged, and the phone will be sold for 499 euros.
Financial Times Deutschland is speculating that T-Mobile’s move could be explained by two hypotheses. On one hand, it could be a sign that a new model, the 3G iPhone, is underway, but on the other hand, it might be due to the poor sales of the iPhone.
Financial Times reports that Deutsche Telekom declined to comment about the reasons behind the offer, but the financial newspaper noted that according to a statement released by T-Mobile in late January only 70,000 units have been sold since the launch of iPhone in Germany in November 2007.
