Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile unit will begin selling the iPhone in Austria in the first half of 2008, according to T-Mobile chief executive Hamid Akhavan. T-Mobile already offers the iPhone in Germany. Last November, Austrian T-Mobile chief Robert Chvatal said that the company would offer the iPhone sometime this year. Akhavan also said that T-Mobile would launch the first Google Android phone in the fourth quarter.

I am very curious with regards to pricing, one reason for the sub-par performance of the iPhone in Germany (at least in terms of the potential market) is the unattractive pricing of the packages. Compared to other offers, the contracts are not ideal for the special business area that is Europe…

I am also very curious because Austria is supposed to have VERY LOW rates. With very overpriced rates like in germany, no one will buy an iPhone there!
