Court Order Against German T-Mobile iPhone Sales

An anonymous reader writes "In a strange move, Vodafone applied for and was granted a restraining order against T-Mobile to prohibit the sale of iPhone in Germany. A regional court in Hamburg has issued a restraining order. According to CNNMoney.com: 'Specifically, Vodafone is questioning the iPhone's exclusive use in T-Mobile's network and the use of the device being limited to certain fees within T-Mobile's subscription offerings.' Vodaphone says they are not trying to halt iPhone sales completely; they seem to want a court to examine the questions of exclusivity and licensing."

I like how the icon..

Apple was AT&T, Cingular, T-mobile, Sprint, EIEIO, ROFL, or any other provider.

      Damn, I tried signing up with EIEIO for a couple months. My calls would constantly be interrupted by weird animal noises, especially ducks. And I could only get a signal in two places - on my farm and, strangely, at any McDonald's restaurant. Obviously I told them they could shove it.

...so the iPhone pays for itself.

Dude, get 10 of them and leave job!

I had them for a while too. Mine kept singing old Nellie songs and sportin' band-aids on one side of the case. And the worst part was that it only worked in East St. Louis.
