Germany Lags in iPhone Sales

Apple’s iPhone seems to be less popular in Germany than in the other few countries where it’s available. T-Mobile, which has been offering the iPhone to its German customers since early November, has only moved 70,000 units. France Telecom, whose Orange mobile unit began offering the phone to customers in France at the same time, hit the 70,000 mark back on January 10, telecoms.com reports. In the UK, O2 has managed to sell 200,000 of the touch-screen wonders.

AT&T in the US, which has had the iPhone since the end of June, is far, far ahead of the pack, with some two million iPhone users.
