T-Mobile "accidentaly" lets us know that they will carry the iPhone in Germany

It is highly unlikely that T-Mobile has accidentally posted all these hints announcing that they will bring the iPhone for their customers. Over the past few days, information or images of Apple's phone have sprung on the company's website, leaving people debate over what this could possibly mean.

T-Mobile has been rumored for some time to be the iPhone carrier in Germany. The company did not confirm such news and kept silent on the way their negotiations with Apple are developing. It must be part of the contract, as most of the operators which are expected to bring the iPhone for the European public kept secrecy on many details.

Official information on the terms according to which the iPhone will reach European grounds will probably come towards autumn, close to the release of the handset on this continent. Until then, we are left only with so-called "accidental" disclosures and even more rumors.

The image of the iPhone which has been posted on T-Mobile's website is joined by a text saying "the new cult mobile phone". One more interesting thing about it is that it does not have AT&T's logo, but neither T-Mobile's. Probably that would have been too obvious, but such a thing is not excluded from happening in the future, just to maintain everybody's interest on the matter.

Just a few days ago, T-Mobile listed the iPhone in a category on their website. This came with the notice of being an "indexation test", which might suggest that the company is making preparations for receiving Apple's phone.

After all, the iPhone's great success is mostly a result of the intense mediatization that it received until its launch. European carriers must be relying on the same strategy, as they are keeping this launch on a low basis for now.
