At Telekom's annual general meeting in Cologne, Obermann said the iPhone was the most popular multimedia device sold by the company's T-Mobile cell phone division.

IPhone customers use the Internet 30 times more on average than other mobile telephone customers and that one-third of iPhone customers bought the most expensive service plans, Obermann said.

Company spokesman Alexander von Schmettow declined to specify the sales figure beyond 100,000 or forecast future sales but said the iPhone was "meeting expectations."

Deutsche Telekom advertises 8-gigabyte iPhones for $153.45 and monthly service plans at $153.45 to $385.95 on its Web site. Deutsche Telekom is the exclusive service provider for the iPhone in Germany.

Obermann wouldn't comment on rumors that an improved version of the iPhone would be introduced to the German market.

Deutsche Telekom shares were flat at $18.41 in Frankfurt trading Thursday.
