| Terminate the contract? They wouldn't do this, and if they did it will let a lot of iphone users to escape their contract and use their iPhone on a more data friendly provider (t-mobile). Then again, they did change sms prices which let a ton of users cancel their contract accordingly so you never know. I would definitely make the switch to verizon and sell my 3gs on eBay. |

sure you would.
Iphone customers keep getting slapped by ATT and Apple, but keep coming back for more. ATT knows this, and will use it to their advantage to squeeze even more cash out of the herd. |

Isn't there some rumor floating around that the iphone might be headed to T-Mobile next year though? If so, seems like ATT would definitely lose with this.

Yup - AT&T/Apple are taking full advantage of cash grab while they can.

The iphone does work on Tmobile's GSM network but it does not work on Tmobile's 3G because it doesn't have the 1700mhz frequency which T-Mo works on.
To get your iphone unlocked it is pretty much as simple as can be now with programs like PwnageTool or RedSn0w. Anybody who is decently comfortable around computers can do it.
Right now running an iphone on Tmobile and it's working great.

The contract is almost up. 2. Legalities aside, there is no way Apple (popular) would ever let AT&T (unpopular) dictate its business model. I'm sure it has been said 1,000 times but AT&T's need of Apple's partnership is not necessarily recipricated. |

ATT will provide it, and allow for the open ecosystem that Apple wants (so it can make even more money). As long as ATT ponies up the cash, Apple will stick with a horrible network. They did it last time they renewed their agreement.

| True. I think the game changer would be if Apple were actually to lose smartphone market share to a device on another network. Say VZ finally lands the device that lures iPhone users away. Apple might consider offer the phone through more carriers to regain the share.
The question is: Is any such device on the way? (Digression I know  |
