It only appeared on the site for a short period, but an Apple iPhone category went live at T-Mobile Germany’s online phone store, according to the German-language newspaper Focus.
Understandably, a T-Mobile Germany spokesperson quoted by Focus refused to comment.

Oops… a Jucy oops
Great. We all know that leaks == repudiation. Heck, Steve might skip the BRD entirely for it. They will all suffer for this outrage. </Jabba>
Ooops!
What do you mean Ooops?
I mean Ooops as in we are in for it now!…
You mean that Ooops!!!
Yep that Oooops!
Oooops!!!!!!

Opsy daisy! (Google translation)
new headline: “Tmobile LOSES iphone deal due to leak.”
@tt,
I think this might be one instance where His Steveness can’t tell a company that leaks to get lost. If a deal has been agreed then telling them the deal’s off will mean Apple having to re-negotiate with another carrier from scratch which would mean coming to the table in a weaker position.
If anyone came to me offering a deal where I already know my competitor is out of the picture strengthens my hand.
Looks like, leak or no leak, T-Mobile is it in Germany.
Doh! I mean, Ach du Lieberzeit!
Either (1) the “mistake” was intentional; or (2) T-Mobile’s change and release management processes are not what they should be. In any case, this isn’t simply a cute little “oops”.
Whatever. Just get the iPhone released in every market ASAP!
Step 2: Profit.
Step 2: is actually “umnah”
Step 3: Profit
Sorry…couldn’t resist

it turns out T-Mo may not have the iPhone in Germany. the page was just one way they were trying to land hits from loads of searches on the iPhone on the website. see:
