Old School Vodafone is so upset with the massive popularity of the
iPhone in Germany they have gone to court to try and block their own
downfall!

Wow!

We all knew this would happen sooner or later, but Germany's poorly
managed Vodafone unit has gone to court to stop Cell Phone advancements
in the the country of Germany. They can't stand the iPhone's pressure,
so are seeking court relief before they go under.

This will be good for everyone!

DUESSELDORF - The German unit of Vodafone Group PLC (VOD) has obtained a
restraining order against Deutsche Telekom AG's (DT) T-Mobile unit
prohibiting the German telecommunications giant from selling Apple
Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone in Germany.

The restraining order was issued by a regional court in Hamburg Monday,
a Vodafone Deutschland spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires.

Vodafone is questioning Deutsche Telekom's iPhone sales practices, the
spokesman said. Deutsche Telekom is marketing the iPhone exclusively in
Germany.

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.

Vodafone isn't generally opposed to T-Mobile's exclusivity contract with
Apple, but wants to have these new sales practices examined, the
spokesman said. The restraining order doesn't aim at a total sales stop,
he added.

A spokesman for T-Mobile Monday confirmed the restraining order has been
issued, adding that the company is examining the issue. So far, it is
too early to comment on possible consequences for the company, he said.

poor cozmic, doesn't even understand that "who wins the iphone contract"
WINS the entire handset market going forward.

SJ is the now KING maker of the cell industry...

vodafone, is freaking out since they lost the apple contract, so they
are crying out... into court... verizon is next to cry wolf, just watch.

apple is waaaaay tooo powerful for simple little cell providers like
verizon to complain. they are dead in the water unless they give in and
accept apple's rules. they failed once to win the iphone contract.

SJ will crush them until they do.

Then explain why Verizon is now once again signing up more customers than
AT&T.

Vodafone is questioning the sales practices, not the phone, stupid. Laws
in Europe are much different than they are here.

And why would Verizon cry wolf when they are once again signing up more new
customers than AT&T?
