T-Mobile have hotspots all over the place (cafe's, hotels, etc) and at €29 for a month's access (pre-paid, sign up online at any hot spot) you can't beat the price. If you are absolutely certain that no wifi is available where you're going then the previous posters advice of visiting a Vodafone or T-Mobile shop when you land is spot on - both have very good networks in Germany. You can't beat the price of buying local when you arrive!

After 18 hours on the road yesterday, I finally reached my hotel at around 10pm CET last night. Frankfurt Airport suffered massive delays and cancellations due to the weather (snow, mainly) but despite this they managed to soldier on and clear the runways.

Submission + - Avatar preview cancelled in Berlin 2

An anonymous reader writes: Cinestar.de failed to obtain a valid "key" for James Cameron's Avatar in Berlin tonight. 600+ angry movie goers were disappointed when the cinema staff announced the problem after 30 minutes of advertising. They offered a full refund and the right to see another movie for free, but neglected to tell their staff about the free movie part so hundreds of angry patrons left, their evening ruined. So much for the digital revolution!
