Re: Go T-Mobile said by Gbcue:I'm sure Apple has debated on whether to go with T-Mobile as well. They should re-think it since T-Mobile has such a large 3G footprint now. Most of AT&T's iPhone problem stem from urban areas where T-Mobile excels. If Apple wants to go T-Mobile route, they will need to have their suppliers start producing the new baseband chip that will support the additional frequency that T-Mobile is using for their 3G. Plus the current 3G and 3GS users will be SOL since even if unlocked, their phones will be limited to EDGE speeds on T-Mobile network.

Whose fault is it that they bought the original crippled radio iPhone? It's not like they don't already buy a new phone almost every year or two.

| They didn't buy a crippled radio. TMO just uses a different frequency for 3G than AT&T. You are correct, though; people buy new phones all the time. The radio issue is a non-starter of an argument against TMO. No reason Apple shouldn't sell the iPhone there, and on VZW's LTE network next year. |
