the iPhone Germany *UPDATE*

Posted on July 4th, 2008

The first post at this blog was about this blog and the iPhone release in Germany. Now it’s much the same.
I’m now going to publish the blog again with the hope that I thought enough about what I’m going to do in the future with it, and that I have enough to say:D

The iPhone

For now I decided not to purchase the iPhone.
Maybe you think that this decision is ugly and bad, cause I could purchase it, and the costs are not the problem, but I have thought about the iPhone quiet some time and came to the end that if I buy the iPhone, than I can go online nearly everywhere I want, and that’s the problem!

I’m on the Internet if I’m at home, and the time outside, at the train to school and so on I’m offline and not connected to the internet what means, that I do other things like reading books, thinking about new ideas and sometimes designing on white paper.

Now if I purchase an iPhone I consider my self not to read books, write down new ideas, or designing new web-designs, rather than surfing the web via the iPhone. Thats why I’m not going to buy the iPhone.

Oh, by the way: if I’m not going to buy the iPhone, I think I’m going to buy something else (not as expensive as a new iPhone but something technically)

What do you think about that desicion? I’m really interessted.


Startpost / the iPhone in Germany

Posted on June 17th, 2008

So now finally I made it, I will publish my own private / professional blog. About what I’m going to blog is not clear so. I think at the moment I can say that I’ll blog about what is coming around. So stay tuned and I hope you’ll like the posts. This first post is about a technical thing I’m heading to at the moment and completely hooked up by.

The iPhone 3G

I already have been hooked by the first iPhone, but the contracts which were offered by T-Mobile have been so expensive that a poor student like I’m couldn’t afford it (and the phone it self costs a lot to).
Now the new iPhone 3G is much more affordable (like Steve Jobs told at the WWDC08 Keynote) and the contracts are much more affordable too.
In Germany we have this:

iPhone contracts

One of the only things I’m thinking about is the data transfare limit, in the contract Complete S – which I’m going to use if I take one iPhone.
