Define 'future'. jk Of course it is. Its also in the future for VZW and even Sprint. Didnt you hear?.. this is the new RAZR.

Second that. Every carrier will have the iphone at least by next year, really thinking it will push for this year considering all the nice phones hitting every carrier. example= N1

The raze became so common because it was cheap as hell to make. Especially after it made all it's money on tmo. It made it easy and cost effective to produce and sold millions thanx to smart marketing. And since it was cheap it was often free or next to nothing to get into customer hands. But it was poorly made as the trade off. The iPhone is of quality construction. Quality tech. It wasn't cheap to make and isn't cheap to buy. It's only commonality with the raze is it's popularity but for completely different reasons.

Here is now phone arena works: Look at old iphone documents we have posted and change the carriers name: repeat 20 times a year.

actually, if you look at how little it actually costs Apple to make the iphone, it is relatively cheap to make... LOL. Apple makes a gargantuan profit margin of its i-products. If and when the iphone becomes the razor (i think thats pretty fitting actually) id expect it to eventually start selling for 50-80 new on contract to get people to move from one carrier to another for it. the phone is essentially the same phone that launched 3 years ago.. the same way the razor was... its about to be launched on all carriers if the rumors are right.. like the razor.. its name brand recognition.. people dont say flip phones, they say razor.. people dont say touch screen, they say iphone. its very similar. i like it :)

The nexus one is crap. Just look at all the problems it's plagued with. It's horrible. 3G issues, out of date trackball, ...... T-mobile is actually petty reliable. They have a good network and good coverage and decent 3G coverage almost everywhere. The thing with the iPhone slowing down AT&T whole network was because they weren't able to handle such an increase in trafficking. It wasn't expected. Now t-mobile could possibly succeed in the areas that AT&T failed in with the iPhone.

You say the Nexus is crap and mention all the problems, yet you only list 2. Now I personally have one and know 2 others with it and we have had zero issues. Where can I see this list of problems?

PC world was a very limited test that gave the edge to ATT because they tested in almost all of ATT's 7.2 mb areas.. which are very limited metro areas. That has nothing to do with real world. Real world ATT is nowhere near the top. That would be verizon. Would you rather have the fastest while your in city and spotty everywhere else, or consitant coverage anywhere you go? Besides, now Tmobile is the fastest since they launched the 21mb/s network this month. If your gonna flame, at least keep up with current information.

Don't think it'll go to very carrier. But by 2012 it'll be on 3(wimax=no sprint IMO) when lte is common for everyone.

Maybe this means at&t will get off its knees for steve jobs and start offering some actual real phones (android) instead of the over rated iphone!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Articles like this start forum wars! Articles like this started the whole "When will the iPhone come to Verizon" debates that ran for more than a year. Please, Phone Scoop writer, stop setting bait for the trolls. If the iPhone ends up on T-Mobile, cool, but NOW 25% of your readers are going to be pissed it they don't get it by the end of the next tech convention or Apple press conference. The other 75% are going to laugh and point. If T-Mobile does get the iPhone, then the remaining 75% is going to laugh about T-Mobiles service now. The comedy is if the iPhone drops calls on T-Mobile, it won't help AT&T's rep at all because It's T-Mobile... AND YOU STARTED IT. You started the endless debates that will follow. You should be ashamed of yourself.

This would huge for T-Mobile their phone lineup is pretty impressive now add the iPhone it would be the best but their already a lot of iPhone users on T-Mobile because att and Steve jobs are the biggest jackasses on the face of the earth remember jailbreak and unlock f apple and f att.

Iphone on T-mobile would be cool, but that's no improvement on the service. That's going from a OK 3G coverage/speed to the worst one. Those coverage map ads from Big Red would only get crazier. They need to make a CDMA version to unleash it's true potentials...
