| 1 iPhone 3G = 1 Euro at T-Mobile |  | One of the great news for today is that T-Mobile will be offering Apple's new iPhone 3G for only 1 Euro. And no, we're not talking about T-Mobile USA, which will most probably never see any iPhone in its line-up of products, as Apple seems to be deeply in love with AT&T and chose only them to be iPhone carriers in the US.

But the Instinct was announced at the beginning of April, when the new iPhone 3G had not been unveiled yet.
