What do we have here? Unlocked iPhones in Germany? Indeed we do. It seems Vodafone’s legal pursuit of T-Mobile’s Apple iPhone exclusivity has finally caught up with the No. 1 German wireless carrier.

T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom trademarks the color Magenta!
As Core77 put it, “All your Magenta are belong to T-Mobile.” It seems the German-based Deutsche Telekom and their mobile arm, T-Mobile, have trademarked the color Magenta.
