Despite rumours stating that T Mobile has won the rights to market the iPhone in Germany they are still refusing to comment on the situation which is interesting.

Vodafone probably lost the bid as they would be unwilling to allow easy and open access to the web without trying to pass users through the Vodafone portal services.

We would have expected T Mobile to either confirm or deny the rumours by now.

The Washington Post seems to think its a done deal:

“FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom’s (DTEGn.DE) mobile phone unit T-Mobile clinched a deal to bring Apple Inc’s iPhone handset to Germany, according to a report in a German daily.

Without citing sources Rheinische Post said in a preview of a story to be published on Wednesday that T-Mobile is expected to sell the iPhone exclusively with a T-Mobile contract for around 450 euros ($612) starting Nov 1.
