Echoing statements made by other carriers offering the iPhone, Deutsche Telekom has gone on record at its recent annual meeting saying that iPhone customers on its T-Mobile network in Germany are shattering mobile internet usage stats, outpacing users of other handsets by a factor of 30 (yes, thirty). Without going into too much detail -- wouldn't want to irritate the Cupertino mothership, after all -- DT said that it has sold in excess of 100,000 units since its
November launch, a number that meets its expectations. The smart money says that data usage is going nowhere but up once the darned thing launches with a
serious radio, too, so let's just hope the satisfaction doesn't turn into sorrow when the airwaves get saturated with overzealous Safari sessions.

Only 100K units sold! So Germany iPhone users use a lot of data - so why do Apple think a 3G iPhone is needed? If only 100K 2G iPhones were sold are Apple now expecting to sell double that just because the next gen iPhone has 3G? I really can't follow this logic.

...Because everyone in the world is waiting for 3G, so have held off buying.
