Will T-Mobile Offer the iPhone?

From Liane Cassavoy, About.com GuideJune 10, 2010

Rumors have long swirled that Apple's iPhone will be offered by a carrier other than AT&T. And the carrier most often mentioned is Verizon Wireless...until today, when an investment analyst suggested that T-Mobile is likely to be the next carrier to offers Apple's smartphone.

Shaw Wu, an analyst with Kaufman Bros., said in a research note to investors that Apple's iPhone could come to networks other than AT&T as soon as this fall. He believes T-Mobile would be the likely choice based on conversations with Apple's suppliers. T-Mobile phones runs on the GSM network, which is the same network AT&T uses, so a T-Mobile iPhone would, theoretically, be easier to build than one that runs on the CDMA networks used by Verizon Wireless and Sprint.

T-Mobile declined to comment on the rumors when asked by the Associated Press. But Peter Dobrow, a spokesman for T-Mobile USA did say, "Would we like to offer the iPhone to T-Mobile customers in the U.S.? You bet. Ultimately though it is Apple's decision on who carries its product."
