Reports today indicate that Vodafone has obtained a court hearing which may force Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile subsidiary in Germany to change the way it sells the iPhone.

Vodafone's case claims that T-Mobile has broken German law by selling the iPhone SIM-locked on a two-year contract. While this is the same as AT&T's deal with Apple in the U.S., laws are different in Europe, so Vodafone says.
