Re: Apple...
That's were its going to go next. It's much easier for apple to bring it to T-Mobile then Verizon. Possibly..
If AT&T looses the exclusive contact next year, they wont bring it to verizon it doesn't make good economic since to build a another phone for just verizon when you can bring the one you have now to T-Mobile. How do you come up with this? Verizon and Sprint both have a big chunk of subscribers.. it makes PERFECT economical sense to bring it to them.. 135 million customers is a lot.. Further it's not "just verizon".. T-mobile here in this country is still rather small potatoes.
The only thing that sucks is T-Mobile's 3G network is pretty sad right now, but they are doing there upgrades quite fast. You hit that one right on the head. apple wants their products to work a certain way.. it's what's bringing the anger out of apple right now. If T-Mobile can't handle or have the power to run the iPhone, why would they flood to T for?
This issue isn't about a world-wide issue.. it's purely domestic for apple. They're not trying to reach out to the world of CDMA users, they're trying to keep their phone users happy here in their own back yard. If ATT can't handle it, then they have to go elsewhere.. Verizon and Sprint are the next answers. |
