Germans in a frenzy over impending Apple iPhone release

It seems, with T-mobile (NYSE: DT) having secured the exclusive rights to Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone distribution in Germany, that those crazy krauts are getting riled up for the impending launch. Gravis, Germany’s largest Apple retailer, is reporting over 1,000 daily inquiries into the iPhone – with over 57,000 inquiries tallied to date.
Textually says that Archibald Horlitz, head of Gravis, told Reuters that 58% of those interested in buying the iPhone would even consider switching carriers. If the US launch is any sort of precedent, German carriers better get ready to lose a substantial chunk of subscribers to T-mobile.
Get ready for some iPhone-love, Germans! As long as you guys don’t get 3G, we’re not even the least bit jealous. But, if you are to get a 3G iPhone, then bully to you. In which case, send one our way, will ya?
