Austrian newspaper Der Standard writes that T-Mobile Austria announced during a press conference in Vienna that the Austria will be the test market for the 3G iPhone and would be available soon.

The article also states that the new iPhone will be available with more “flexible” pricing.

Fscklog.com contacted T-Mobile Austria about the article and received the following reply, “Yes, we plan to bring the iPhone with UMTS-support to market, but can’t and are not allowed to say when yet.”

This is a WRONG conclusion the “Der Standard” reporter made!

iPhones are selling very bad in austria and T-Mobile’s Hendrik Kasteels said, he was hoping for the next iPhone generation to sell better, as austria is a ”test market” for third generation mobile devices.

Rob,

As I can’t personally read the text that article refers to, I simply based the story on other English written reports as well as the Fscklog.com quote.
