Wow, Im proud of Tmobile customers.
I cant believe that no one is bitching about the IPhone maybe its because it will be sold unlocked next yr anyway but still. It shows alot of mature people use tmobile and dont bitch and whine about it being will Cingular only (until 2008 it will be sold unlocked). Verizon guys are having fits about Cingular getting phone. 🤣
...
They're crying cus you can't just flip a switch and make it CDMA.
Exclusives are usually only 90 days anyway, so it might be available unlocked around Christmas time instead of after. I wish they'd sell it unlocked from the get-go, since I'll be buying mine at retail anyway.

not much whining. just a few are really but they keep posting the same whine over and over. 🤣 i think some people were expecting it to be cdma. i have no idea why cause most phones launch gsm first. and i guess not many people at tmobile were thinking they would get it anyway. no let down there. almost everyone with tmobile would have to shell out 600 just so apple could hit their 1 percent penetration goal 🤣
...
oh they could whine but can't, there still sufferring from a coma from the news

I could careless if the iPhone comes t Verizon Wireless. It looks too much like a mini computer to me, and I prefer to have a phone for what it's meant to be. That's just me though. But I believe T-Mobile will eventually get the phone, once they get other areas upgraded to 3G service, regardless of which 3G service they launch. But I believe for now, the reason Cingular is getting it now is because they have plenty of cellular & PCS licenses to where the iPhone would work with their 3G service, while T-Mobile has to rely solely on the AWS licenses they got for their upcoming 3G service.

Evidently you have not been following this. Apple made a *multiyear* agreement to sell the phone exclusively.
...
yeah, I hadn't read that when I posted this. Apparently they're making more than one phone for Cingular too.
I really didn't see that coming.

The reason I don't care is that the iphone is the next fad. The Razr is the current fad, but once the iPhone catches on, I think the Razr will FINALLY get shoved aside.
T-Mobile has some really good samsung phones, and their Nokia phones are excellent. The iPhone is over priced and over rated.

tmobile customers obviously have some common sense and know this is not as a big deal as some would lead you to believe!

Apple won't corner the market on this. Other phone makers will come out with their own versions of MP3 phones, and I am sure Tmobile will pick up on at lease one of them. The Techno-geeks may change over to Cingular to get the iPhone, but with the high price tag, I don't see many others switching carriers for that reason.
...
The thing I'm confused about is that I thought there were already phones where you could upload and listen to MP3s and use a memory card to increase the storage capability of your phone. Does the iPhone do it differently? 😕

The iPhone is Apples first phone...and the UI looks interesting and has iTunes built in. If setup properly, that can be used to accessed the iTunes store on the phone...If Cingular decides to allow that, or set it up.
Looks like theres a lot to this phone that not even I know about...wow..I like it already..
Makes things interesting that Apple and Cingular (The new AT&T) have signed an exclusive contract. At this time only Cingular is allowed to carry Apple's products. Actually makes Cingular look better if you know anything about Apple's requirements to even get into such a contract...or even a contract to sell their products. These guys are strict.

I'm a Verizon user, and I could careless if the iPhone never comes to Verizon Wireless. It's too much like a toy to me. My Samsung a930 works ok as a phone, but my phone is a toy though. The only Verizon Wireless users complaining that Cingular got the phone first are the tech geeks. I didn't follow on the Razr, Krazr (if I have it spelled correctly), SLVR (which will be at VZW by next month over a year), or the LG Chocolate trends. And I'm not about to go with the iphone either. I'm however waiting for more markets to have their network upgraded...

It's "I COULDN'T care less". Not "I COULD care less". That would mean that you still kinda care.
I COULDN'T care less.
Remember that.
Now, back to your normally scheduled programming...

If Apple gave the I-phone to Verizon, then Verizon would just disable half the features anyway, so they could force you to use thier services, for a small fee of course. That is why I left them and came to Tmobile.

And that's why I don't believe Apple will release the phone to Verizon Wireless. Apple will want all of the features on the phone, and will likely mandate that people buy music from the iTunes store, where Verizon will want people to use the V-Cast Music service. plus V-Cast requires WMA files, while the iPhone would require AAC, and non of Verizons' phones support AAC. Very few support MP3.
