The trains might run on time, but for those Germans who pre-ordered iPhone 3G’s, scheduled arrivals are way off.  Gizmodo translated a post on German website iphone-ticker.de which noted that after weeks of waiting for their precious new toys, these customers received a paper “build-it-yourself” iPhone template with the phrase (roughly translated) “As a small pastime/tinkering project” at the top.   

Funny, ja?  Nein!

No further details were given as far as when those customers would be receiving more sturdy iPhones that wouldn’t require bits of tape.
