Vodafone sought an injunction in Germany that would prevent Apple's partner, T-Mobile, from selling the iPhone while tied exclusively to T-Mobile's service.
While AT&T locked up the rights to sell Apple's iPhone and tie it to AT&T's network, T-Mobile may have some problems making the same sweet deal in Germany.
Vodafone requested a temporary injunction against T-Mobile to prevent it from selling the iPhone. T-Mobile had been selling Apple's hot gadget since early in November.
Bloomberg report said, in Vodafone's interpretation of local laws, T-Mobile cannot sell a locked device to German consumers. A Vodafone spokesperson said in the report they want a court to "clarify whether it's legal to sell a device that is linked exclusively to one phone company."
