German newspaper Die Welt is reporting in their online version [GER] today that Apple is about to win tens of thousands of new corporate customers for their iPhone.
German mega bank Deutsche Bank and other corporations are apparently willing to add the 3G iPhone to their line-up of cell phones provided to employees. Until now, Blackberry models dominated this market segment in Germany. In the last few weeks, several high-ranking Deutsche Bank executives seem to have forced their employer to consider the iPhone as an alternative.
Since financial institutions have particularly high security standards, Die Welt reports efforts are currently being made at Deutsche Bank to meet internal demands in this area. Deutsche Bank is the world’s tenth biggest bank.
The newspaper goes on saying T-Mobile [GER] is currently negotiating with several other big German companies to win framework contracts. The German carrier for the 3G iPhone claims they already received “thousands of pre-orders” for the new Apple product from corporate customers.
The 3G iPhone goes on sale in Germany on July 11th.

that just shows that the iPhone 3g has become the #1 must-have gadget. There is no stopping it now…I seriously believe this will sell more units than any other model ever has.

Absolutely great news for investors and iPhone fans everywhere. If Apple can break down the resistance to change all the better for Apple to get more Macs into the corporate world. Since this is the tenth largest bank, Apple still has a ways to go in order to get into the first largest bank. That might really make a difference.
