if true I would drop my SERO plan in a second and sign up for everything plus for one of these bad boys

They may let it go to other carriers, but Apple will never allow owners of the iPhone the freedoms that we have with Windows Phones. It'll still be the same old locked down iPhone no matter what carrier it's on.

dont want an iphone, but would be great if it finally got branched out to other carriers. im down for anything that helps sprint gain ground in the marketplace!

I bet half of you saying you wouldn't get it if it were on Sprint would buy it in a heartbeat. I'm not a windows hater or anything like that but the interface on it is just to awesome, everything works, the only reason I have a windows phone is because of my plan, if the ATT plans weren't so god damn expensive I would be an iTard

i wouldn't get an iphone but at the same time I wouldn't mind seeing it on other carriers. people have yelled for a vzw iphone for years...slap a hw keyboard on it, true multitasking, wvga display and true multitasking you may have me interested
but if apple is doing essentially the same phone then it is their loss =/

Isn't the main reason that VZW didn't have the initial agreement because they wouldn't give Apple the control over the phone like they have with AT&T? If Apple doesn't loosen up a little bit, they're going to have problems branching out further. The fact that they say what I can and can't install on my $200 phone is the reason I won't get an iPhone. I don't want to have to jailbreak it just to make it worthwhile.
