tmobile will NEVER have iphone. apple is high class all the way and they would never put iphone on a 3rd rate network like tmobile

There's a few issues with this.

1) That picture in no way indicates that its from T-Mobile USA. Don't forget that T-Mobile UK already sells the iPhone.
2) Even if it were - there's plenty of people that use the iPhone and/or iPods out there, including people that use an unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile, so why not sell the accessories? Accessories are very high profit items.

Oh, and seriously, oblama, its very, very obvious that your iPhone trolling is meant to just be trolling, not to actually provide value to the discussion. Give it up.

T-mobile UK rocks. For £20 they give me 6 months unlimited data. 6 freeking months!!! No contract or other charges.

As opposed to that other third rate network?

 

[Bl0cks]

I sold an Iphone cable once... :S

lol seriously

AT&T is crappy

Also never take OBAMA seriously at all. Practically all his posts are troll posts. He cannot have a decent discussion at all.

Ok, I'm a rumor monger, but does it strike anyone as strange that T-mobile is carrying iPhone cables, released a commercial slamming the iPhone for being on at &t, and that they just shipped a shitload of. Micro sims that only fit iPhones, to customers accidentally?

Heheh, those puzzle pieces don't really make sense. I'm confused!

Engadget reports those were for Galaxy Tabs?

 

[shortylickens]

Also dont forget that T-mobile is very good about letting you bring in your own unlocked phone for service with them. Maybe they had a lot of people jump ship from AT&T?
Of course, I dunno if their 3g networks are compatible. You may be forced to use wifi for everything.

Judging from the way that big things usually happen in the cell phone industry, the Verizon iPhone "leak" could very well only be the start. What if Apple decideds to flood the market and allow all carriers to sell them?

And don't bring up their contract with ATT. Contracts always have a buyout clause.

 

[MovingTarget]

I hope so. I would love to get an iPhone, but am unwilling to switch carriers to AT&T or ~shudder~ Verizon to get a subsidized version.

Yeah it could be that.

T-Mobile was the launch provider with the iPhone in Germany as well. I don't see how they can offer it all over the world but not here.

One of the things iPhone fans won't admit/don't know and Android fans don't bother to look up, is that AT&T had a significant role in the R&D behind the iPhone, thus the exclusive Apple/AT&T contract in the US.

We'll see the iPhone on TMobile someday, but I suspect it won't be anytime soon I suspect Verizon will demand they will be the only carrier beside AT&T in the US.
