T-Mobile's €1 iPhone 3G
T-Mobile will sell the iPhone 3G for as little as €1, the company has announced. When the device launches in Germany on July 11th, shoppers will have the option of pairing an 8GB model with a high-end €69 per month contract, resulting in the sharp discount to the phone itself. People wanting cheaper tariffs will have to pay greater initial costs, with the 8GB capacity costing as much as €170, Reuters notes.
Costs for the 16GB iPhone will start at €20 with an €89 per month contract, rising to as high as €250 with a €29 per month agreement. The new fees are believed to be a response to low European sales of the original iPhone, which was often priced between €200 and €400 while still requiring high monthly rates. Many Europeans are able to receives phones for free with new agreements. The lack of 3G broadband is also said to have been a deterrent, as the technology has been widespread in Europe for several years.

So....
So what they are saying is that they are going to do it right this time?
I liked the original approach in the US but with all the price drops I felt "screwed" anyway.
