said by Pirate515: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.
It's not that hard to put in a new radio.
