Kinda explains both Verizon's attack ads on the iPhone and on AT&T.

too bad. Verizon is going to lose my business early next year to AT&T if they do not announce an iphone release. No phone compares even remotely. Sounds like Droid is a potential competitor but it is still not an iphone.

one analyst has predicted that Apple will instead bring the iPhone to another GSM-based carrier in the U.S.: T-Mobile.
You know those old Warner Brothers cartoons where the Road Runner would blast off, leaving a cloud of dust? That's most AT&T iPhone users the instant the iPhone supports other carriers.

T-Mobile is the iphone carrier in Europe. At least in Holland.

At&T’s larger network and apathy will probably keep a lot of people there, but T-Mo’s prices will be attractive to a lot of people. I would think Apple would like T-Mo’s move away from subsidies as well.
I didn’t miss my iPhone as much as I thought I would when we moved to T-Mo, but at this point if it came to them I would probably get one. I like Android, but none of the phones have been a specs wise competitor yet. The rumored Sholes Tablet would be though (Droid with no physical keyboard).

T-Mobile makes sense since it’s the same type of network at AT&T, while Verizon is not... :-)
That would be a “natural” expansion for the iPhone. Verizon would not be.

T-Mobile has gigantic poblems. The biggest one is their Microsoft Danger company that the need to straighten out. You cannot download their application on the Sidekick phones.
