T-Mobile Germany Offers IPhone Sans Contract For $1,478

T-Mobile has announced it will now start selling iPhones without a contract, for 999 euros (US$1,478), as opposed to 399 euros with a two-year contract. Any customer can now have the SIM lock on their phone removed, reports the International Herald Tribune. This is in response to an injunction obtained by Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) earlier this week, and will last until a hearing at a Hamburg court which is expected in two weeks, reports Dow Jones. T-Mobile would have faced penalties, which may have included a 250,000 euro fine, if it hadn’t complied with the injunction.

In its press release, T-Mobile said that it was good to link the iPhone to its network because it had the widest EDGE network, as well as a bunch of T-Mobile Hotspots. It also reserved the right to sue the pants off Vodafone if the launch of the iPhone in Germany is hampered.
