your so busy giving props to tmo, that you forget your own arguments.
do you remember saying this?


ya, i didnt think so.



iphone and right mind are direct contradictions. oxyMORONS if you will.

I do remember saying that. Guess you didn't see the article that carriers are losing money from iPhone subsidies, so if you ask me T-mobile is playing it smart. They're refarming the network which is cheaper than paying to have the iPhone or any other GSM phone subsidized. Not only the refarm allows for use of any GSM phone but it also expands coverage and increases capacity which is already beyond that of sprint. T-mobile isn't the only carrier without the iPhone USCC rejected it. Probably because they know that they'd lose money if they offered it subsidized.

so when tmobile gets a branded iphone in a few months, i assume you will take all this back and talk about how smart tmobile was to get one?

I really don't know why T-mobile is being harped on when USCC doesn't have it either (rejected it like I said). Whether or not there will be an AWS iPhone remains to be seen but by the time there is one T-mobile will have their PCS 3G/4G network up and running.

virgin mobile is everywhere, cricket is damn near everywhere. uscc is virtually nowhere, and even there, very limited. i dont know why you keep bringing them up. nobody south of chicago has ever even heard of them. congrats to uscc for turnig down an iphone. tmobile just wishes apple would offer it to them. i gurauntee they would carry one if they had the chance.

USCC exists far south of Chicago and they exist in more places than cricket, they also don't rely on sprint's crappy network like WM and cricket do.
