T-Mobile is losing its exclusivity for iPhone in Germany. As a result two more operators, O2 and Vodafone, will start selling Apple’s phone as soon as the negotiations are finalized.

While all carriers are selling older iPhones models, the latest iPhone 4 is exclusive to T-Mobile DE. Currently, its price starts from 1 euro when purchased together with a 2-year contract.

T-Mobile Germany has already sold good 1.9 million iPhones across the country despite the delayed iPhone 4 shipments (some customers had to wait 9 weeks for the coveted device).

The latest rumor is T-Mobile is about to lose its exclusivity for Apple’s toy in Germany in October, which will allow the other two companies to get in on the action. There is no word from either of the companies yet but according to the WSJ the negotiations are in an advanced stage.

It’s not like we haven’t seen this scenario: last year the same thing happened to O2 UK who lost its iPhone exclusivity in the UK weeks just before the holiday season and Vodafone and Orange were allowed to join the game.

Nokia are obviously not doing a great job preventing those leaks as another of their handsets has been previewed well-ahead of its official announcement. This time it’s the Nokia C7 and even though the preview doesn’t give us all the details it gets clear that the C7 is a slightly trimmed-down Nokia N8, coming at a lower price.

Nokia C7 gets previewed

Despite his history of legal issues with Nokia, Eldar Murtazin from mobile-review.com posted a preview of the Nokia C7. The handset obviously takes the N8 base, but uses a cheaper body (plastic rather than anodized aluminum) and cuts down a few features . The major cut is the camera - 8MP and LED flash vs. the 12MP camera with xenon flash on the N8.

HDMI is also gone and the internal memory has been halved to 8GB. The rest of it is the same - 3.5″ nHD AMOLED, 680MHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 1200mAh Li-Ion battery and of course Symbian^3. The Nokia C7 also supports the latest local wireless connectivity - Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0 (which hit 10Mbit/s during testing).

The camera has been downsized to 8MP

Eldar Murtazin estimates that the Nokia C7 will be available in mid-October or November for 350 euro (based on the announced 370 euro price of the N8 with actual prices of around 450 euro for pre-order).

The QWERTY-enabled Samsung A927 Flight II has made its way to both Samsung’s and AT&T’s websites even it hasn’t been properly announced yet. Apparently, its premiere is just around the corner so we will get a chance to see it in flesh pretty soon.

Heavy texters will be glad to see the Samsung A927 Flight II hardware four-row side-slide QWERTY keyboard. In addition, the newbie also packs a 3-inch touchscreen of WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels).

The phone is said to support AT&T’s Mobile TV service and on top of that you get quick access to some of the most popular social networking services (such as Facebook and Twitter).

The unannounced Samsung A927 Flight II was spotted on both Samsung USA’s (overview and specs sheet) AT&T’s websites, however, there is still no word on the QWERTY-fied phone’s official launch date or price.
