Mobil Surfen und Mailen mit HSDPA

September 13, 2007

Pieter Knuvers sent me this ad appearing today in Germany…

T-Mobile iPhone Ad from Germany

But is it an iPod or iPhone?

(Incidentally - check out Pieter’s web site - is this the most wired guy in the Netherlands or what?)

UPDATE: Fab writes in the comments below that this ad is a fake according to Heise.de.

    This has been on MacRumors for awhile now. Why would is be an iPod? I see a phone button on it. And it is a *Tmobile* ad.

    wow , the Netherlands got mentioned on Leo’s blog. it reads as it is a iPhone with a 16 gb ipod embedded.
    -2mp photo’s
    -mobile surfing and checking your mail through HSDPA

    -incl. Stereo headset

    For some reason the ad says “Apple iPod 16GB” but I’m pretty syre that’s an error.

    True, Leo. I missed that. But - what if they did have a 16GB iPhone?

    “Kulthandy” means “cult mobile”. They are definitely talking about the iPhone. Glaubt mir ruhig, es ist meine Muttersprache. ;)

    OK. Turns out the leaflet is a fake. http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/95737 (Sorry, German only). Heise is a highly trusted news source, though.

    OK I think you are right! HSDPA with 3.6 Mbps is to good to be true.
    The highest speed in the Netherlands is at this moment is HSDPA at 1.6Mbps/384kbit/s. I have this on my Windows Mobile Samsung I600 cell phone, use it for mail, browsing and controlling my wired online home http://www.bwired.nl . I like the Iphone, had the privilege to play with it for a while, but I’m not thinking about going back to GPRS!
    Russell Shaw at Zdnet has the Iphone Add to in his blog and he is still believing it also :-) http://blogs.zdnet.com/ip-telephony/?p=2318 It’s a good joke, the fooled me too!

    Hi Leo, I was just wondering what widget you use for your Flickr Pictures, I would like to put it on my site as well.

    Thanks, Jonathan

    I’ll put together a list of ALL the plugins I’m using later today!

    I would be very appreciative for that plugin list too Leo.

Got something to say?
