T-Mobile Germany has issued a press release about how Vodafone wants to end the exclusive sales contract for the iPhone in that country. T-Mobile claims that they will appeal the ruling so that they can continue to sell the iPhone exclusively. While selling a locked iPhone, T-Mobile also claims to offer preferential data plan rates and access to T-Mobile run hotspots.
T-Mobile may claim damages against Vodafone for the issues caused by their lawsuit however. Reuters news service has mentioned that T-Mobile will sell the Apple iPhone cell phone in Germany unlocked. This is exciting news coming from T-Mobile in between the lawsuit announcements.
The iPhone will be offered at $1,500 USD or $600 locked with a contract. Having an unlocked iPhone in Germany is definitely a step in the right direction but there could be problems finding an additional carrier with an EDGE data network. Via Tuaw.
