Following on iPhone sales figures from Apple, T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) Germany has finally chimed in on their own sales numbers.
T-Mobile Germany has apparently sold about 70,000 iPhones in its 11 weeks of sales. If you’ll recall, the iPhone hit the German market in November of last year, and has been selling at an average rate of 900 units per day. France’s Orange iPhone stands in stark contrast to Germany’s three-month iPhone sales performance. The French carrier sold 70,000 iPhones in its first month of sales – definitely an interesting look at the T-Mobile iPhone announcement.
Still, T-Mobile Germany’s Philipp Humm stated that “the iPhone is by far the most sold multimedia device in T-Mobile’s portfolio.”

Sorry but I dont get this?Almost evry day post that today iphone have sold 900 devies in France 6 iphones over christmas in UK and so on . iPhone have about
0.5-0,6 % of the hole mobile market . Why post of this big fail and sound its good?
What had happen if say Nokia or Samsung , Motorola and even Sony-Ericsson had post here evry day that they have sold some thousen devies???
Like Nokia last year 2007
133.5 million devices shipped in Q4, up 27% compared to this time last year
437.1 million devices were shipped in 2007 compared to 374.5 million in 2006, an increase of 25.8%
70,000’s a lot of iPhones, but not spectacular compared with some other countries.
“Sorry but I dont get this?Almost evry day post that today iphone have sold 900 devies in France 6 iphones over christmas in UK and so on . iPhone have about”
Indeed. People do still comment these so i guess it makes sense, but it seems like people need to prove that iphone is doing ok and so on.
Waiting for the next SE/Nokia flagship phone to have reports about it every other hour….
Well, it makes sense for HUGE, entrenched companies to sell handsets in large volumes. Would you be surprised if you saw a post about how many millions of handsets Nokia or Samsung has sold? Absolutely not.
The point of these Apple iPhone sales-performance posts is not to continue the iPhone hype or even continue riding the fanboy wagon. The point is that the VERY FIRST phone from a non-phone company is doing as well as it is.
The sales numbers are NOT spectacular compared to other manufacturers and handsets, but that’s NOT the point.
