German shoppers can reserve an Iphone 5

ANYONE LOOKING to get their hands on a white hot Apple Iphone 5 but who doesn't live near or work in a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco might be wise to move to Germany.
There mobile operator Deutsche Telekom, says Bloomberg, is opening up a virtual queue for would be Iphone 5 buyers who can not possibly wait until the next iconic Apple smartphone is actually released before making a grab for it.
Rumours suggest that the Iphone 5, a prototype of which was lost in a bar recently, could be out this month, or at least announced, so maybe Deutsche Telekom knows something that we don't. Or maybe it just knows that the Iphone 5 would sell even if it came attached to a scorpion.
In the US the large retailer Best Buy is also readying itself for a impending Iphone 5 intake, and according to a leaked document seen by the Boy Genius report, it could be selling them by October, which is in line with common thinking.
The Iphone 5 is the subject of many rumours at the moment, which is usually a good indication that it is probably on its way, and we suspect, though cannot be sure, that the missing prototype made its way into a stranger's pocket with a little help.
This might not be the case, and Apple's interesting approach to trying to get it back suggests that perhaps its loss was actually a mistake, rather than just an excuse to hype up the buzz among Apple's fanbois for its eventual launch.
Whatever, the rumour machine is sure enjoying having still more Apple Iphone 5 spin and sparkle to chew on for a while.
