T-Mobile CEO Confirms iPhone Coming to Carrier
T-Mobile will be getting the iPhone.
Despite it being the fourth largest cellphone carrier in the United States, T-Mobile has yet to offer its customers the iPhone.
However, T-Mobile customers won't be iDeprived for much longer. Deutsche Telekom CEO Rene Obermann was speaking the truth when he said that subsidiary T-Mobile would be carrying the iPhone some time in 2013.
T-Mobile CEO John Lugere gave a little bit of a more precise timeframe at CES Las Vegas, telling Reuters that it'll be carrying the iPhone in three or four months. This will be around the same time that T-Mobile will be doing completely away with cellphone subsidies, meaning customers will have to pay an upfront fee and monthly installments for their phones.
Sadly this will mean that by the time the smartphone launches on the carrier, T-Mobile customers wanting to snatch up a new iPhone will have to bear the brunt of the full cost of the phone.

If it's coming to T-Mobile, it will available on Wind as they use the same bands. You can buy any new Tmobile phone and unlock it and use it on Wind.
That's my plan, the moment I get an iphone on windmobile network, Rogers is getting "bye bye".
Second, I hope the general public understands that paying full price for a phone will be cheaper than having a discounted price but getting locked into a 2 year plan.
I doubt it. Most of the things that we come here to read aren't topics that the general public gets.
We're "special"
Apparently they have that plan now. Called the Value plan. You are still stuck on contract to recieve the lower price even if you bring your own phone. That is unless you are talking about prepaid service?
I am the same way, although I usually buy a new phone on ebay. I pay $45 a month for the same plan that is $65 on contract....the money I save in the long term is more the then with a subsidized phone+contact.
