European iPhone fever kicks off in Germany

Hundreds of Apple fans braved rain and wind in the German city of Cologne early Friday morning to be among the first in Europe to get their hands on the coveted iPhone.

A few hundred people lined up at a Deutsche Telekom shop, where its mobile communications unit T-Mobile allowed customers to buy the music-playing and web-browsing device at midnight before the phone goes on sale across the country later in the day.

Sales staff cheered and applauded when the first dozen customers entered the store, which is located in the downtown shopping district of Cologne across from a Vodafone store.

British telecoms group Vodafone lost out to T-Mobile and Telefonica’s O2 and France Telecom to sell the iPhone, but will start selling a similar multimedia handset from Samsung Electronics on Friday.

T-Mobile representatives handed out blankets, umbrellas as well as hot tea, coffee and pretzels for those still waiting outside.
