T-Mobile defeats Vodafone injunction in Germany

A German court has ruled that T-Mobile is allowed to sell 'locked' versions of the Apple iPhone on its network, although it must unlock them at the customer's request when the contract ends. The ruling comes a week after a temporary injunction was applied as a result of Vodafone's claim that the deal breached German competition laws. T-Mobile had been selling unlocked iPhones as an interim measure. [Sources: TimesOnline.co.uk, NewsWireless.net, Reuters.com]
