Both provide "capped 3.5G data flatrates" between 1GB and 5GB for 10 to 15 Euros. They do not offer HSDPA everywhere, but I guess normal 3G should suffice for the Kindle. I guess they'll reach an agreement soon, even if they just talk to E-Plus and Telefonica just to end in bed with one of the big two.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mattias]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 2:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[WTF is "Deutschlan"?

Furthermore, T-Mobile has been rumored for well over a year to offer their own e-book. Although their has been no mention of publisher deals, I would suspect they have nothing particular to offer; content has always been an afterthought at Deutsche Telekom<br>That being said, I agree with the need for WiFi.

All sorts of standards that are incompatible, vendor lock-ins, exorbitant costs, gaps in coverage, etc., etc.  I have to concede that they have a point.  So I do find it amusing that Germany is apparently locked up, and Amazon cannot find a vendor to provide WhisperNet.  In the U.S., the cellular vendors are pretty much standing in line to provide Whispernet like capability to eBook providers like Amazon, including two cell companies that have German roots or partial ownership.  Great way to get some money for what's essentially back-up for peak bandwidth.  The whole thing strikes me as, well, so quintessentially German.  In the US, if there's a German product that's superior, we pretty much buy and use it.  In Germany, if there's a US product that's superior, they pretty much find a way to not buy or use it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paulsbitbucket]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 3:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[my german friend, i do not agree. i think it is just business pratice.. they (amazon) want to use the network of deutsche telekom or vodafone (both have much better coverage and faster networks than the others) but do not give enough money, then they have to look somewhere else. easy free market practice.. <br><br>greetings from old europe]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[11010010]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 4:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[This has nothing to do with what product is "superior" or not. Amazon's Kindle is great, but it won't be as profitable to T-mobile's as their own project obviously! Your theory of "anti-American" tactics are laughable.<br><br>I for one am pushing hard for the single EV-DO network in my European country to open their eyes to the possibilities of selling the Kindle and their network! They have a nationwide network solely dedicated to data traffic, not a single phone on it, and all the major cell phone networks here are obviously GSM (3G). What a match made in heaven!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 4:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who else is fed up of Kindle news?...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 4:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just you and the other people that can't read. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RIMM Jobs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 4:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[hey, at least nobody mentioned the iPhone or the Pre yet; makes for a<br>nice change from all the rest of the Engadget articles.<br><br><br>oh wait....uh.... never mind.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tmarks11]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2009 7:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/kindles-german-launch-stalled-by-t-mobile-and-vodafone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm really impatient to get the Kindle here in Germany as soon as possible - it really makes me angry that the main 2 carriers can't get their act together and find a solution to that fast, especially with Germany being the second biggest market for amazon.
