T-Mobile to Sell iPhone in Germany: November 1st?

Uh oh... I dont see much of Europe getting the 3G iPhone for some time with this news. 

When US gets 3G, Europe will get 3G. Which wont be any time soon.It's inevitable, what with unlocking laws in parts of EU. A two tiered 3G in EU with Edge in USA situation just didnt seem the Apple way. Apple want one worldwide product, and product launch. And without unlocked 3G iPhones being shipped back to the US spoiling the surprise. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of EU don't get the iPhone for a year.

That said I'm guessing that's why ATT's contract is 5 year (much longer than I expected. They have probably had their arm twisted into upgrading the 3G network ASAP, which is an expensive business without long term rewards/contract.
