Deutsche Telekom has begun offering pre-order tickets to customers looking to get Apple's next generation iPhone as soon as possible, reports MacNN. The carrier is offering the tickets to interested customers through its distribution partners.
Although they're only available on a first-come first-served basis, getting a ticket is said to ensure express delivery as soon as phones are available. If events follow the same pattern as last year, DT is expected to be followed by other European carriers such as Vodafone. The real significance of the reservations, however, may be firm evidence that Apple is planning to launch a new iPhone in the near future.
Apple is expected to unveil the next generation iPhone on September 12th.

I live in Germany and speak german. My point was this dialog is not specific to the iphone. It allows certain customers first access to new smartphones. I was just trying to help. I realise tmobile in the usa does not sent out information in german
Viel spaà mit den Mitteilungen

It's actually tmobile Germany, not tmobile USA. I thought you could tell that by the fact that the ticket is not written in English. Tmobile DE already has the iPhone.

Doesnt say anything about the iphone. It gives the chance to get news smartphones first.
