iPhone on T-Mobile
It is rumored that the Jesus Phone aka iPhone is coming to T-Mobile in Q3. Can you believe it? I almost fell out of my chair when I read the news. Apple's exclusive contract with AT&T is FINALLY coming to an end, so Apple is apparently shopping for other carriers.
The move to T-Mobile makes sense, because both AT&T and T-Mobile use similar networks based on GSM technology. Offering the iPhone to Verizon is possible too, but it will require some re-tooling (chip) to support its CDMA-based network.
I have no preference. I am just happy that AT&T is getting kicked to the curb. Plus, iPhone users will have a choice of carriers versus being forced to sign with one carrier. Let's keep an eye on this one!

Hurray for competition! I’m looking forward to it.
