iPhones in Germany heating upIt seems, with T-mobile having secured the exclusive rights to Apple 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?
