iPhone in Germany

Classified in: Apple, Technology news, iPhonepaomic at 12:10 pm

The iPhone is being sold in Germany by T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom (some tips and tricks for iPhone German users are already online). Vodafone a few days ago managed to win a judgment, so now T-Mobile decide to sell an unlocked version of the new Apple jewel, at 1,000 €! Not that cheap, but it’s a great achievement for Vodafone. T-Mobile announced that this will continue until judges decide on the case (so they say that it won’t last forever). We will see when iPhone will be launched in France and Italy (rumors said that there was an agreement between Telecom Italia and Apple, while now Vodafone seems the first on the line).

Unlocked iPhone = warranty void ????

Classified in: Technology news, iPhonepaomic at 2:03 pm

Some news report that an Apple service center would have refused to repair an unlocked iPhone. The doubt that Apple would accept this kind of software (or hardware) modification was an important point of discussion in many technology blogs and newsgroups. Now it seems that any iPhone modification, included the “unlocking”, could void the warranty, exposing users to very expensive repair costs.

A related funny news is that a T-Mobile shop in Newport Beach, California, is advertising the possibility of iPhone unlocking with a self-explanatory ad: We unlock iPhones! (source iPhone Matters)
