T-Mobile gets hit with phone locking lawsuit

From Techdirt comes news the California Supreme Court has ruled that a lawsuit against T-Mobile's phone locking policy is not subject to binding arbitration.

From the article:

"How the courts will actually rule on the issue could make a big difference in the Apple/iPhone case -- as there is the possibility that the courts may find that (in California at least) locking a phone to a single network is not allowed."
