German state-owned NRW.Bank threatens Nokia with a legal action, if the latter refuses to pay back the subsidies given by the German government for the construction of the recently closed plant in Bochum.
Moreover, they demand the refunded subsidies to include interest worth $29 million.
As you probably know, T-Mobile Germany has recently started offering unlocked (contract free) iPhones for 999 Euros.
Well, they are not really unlocked; you purchase a regular locked handset, and then send the phone's IMEI to Apple for unlocking. Within 24 hours they send you an e-mail saying "thank you”, and after that you just connect your iPhone to iTunes and voila.
As you probably know, the famous iPhone has reached the European continent and will soon be available in Germany from T-Mobile.
The launch date is scheduled on November 9. The 8GB model will cost you 399 Euros ($575) with a 2-year service agreement + 25 Euros ($36) for the activation. Monthly plans are similar to those in the States and will start at 49 Euros ($71) per month.
T-Mobile will be the official carrier to offer Apple's iPhone in Germany.
The device will feature GSM/EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity and Apple's iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
The iPhone's German debut is scheduled on November 9th, then it will be available in Deutsche Telekom's shops and in T-Mobile's online shop at a price of €399 (VAT included) after a 2-year contract.
The myFaves service will soon become available in Germany at T-Mobile. It will allow users to call five of their most favorite friends for free. Of course, not all handsets will support myFaves, so some of you in Germany will have to replace your mobile devices to use it.
Pricing and availability details are expected to be announced next month.
