Don't forget to give T-Mobile two middle fingers. It without a doubt is the worst cellular provider next to Nextel.
We're bashing the fact that he chooses T-Mob w/ Edge be cause he has "spotty ATT service", and yet he tethers his 3G from iPad to iPhone, which must be with ATT, and therefore contradicting himself.
Never mind the T-Mobile lettering, I wanna see what the Girl in the background looks like she has potential, however if this is your Wife or Girlfriend I do apologize dude.
Interesting Photo, what do unlocked phones from Canada cost anyway since they are not subsidized.

I'm not using edge. Read
I'm on WiFi... bahahaha!
you gotta carry around your ipad to get 3g?
This is what I'm saying. The purpose of the iPhone is to be mobile.. must be fun busting out the iPad to put the iPhone on 3G... defeats the purpose.
Some people just don't think.
OP: Must feel nice to pay $800 for a phone, put it on a crap network using EDGE and have to bust out an iPad to get what the rest of us are using via the iPhone solely by itself.
And P.S.

There is a reason why they offer those cheaper plans that you are seeing. You'll see how fast those prices go up the day that T-Mobiles coverage matches that of AT&T and Verizon.

That is too bad. I have AT&T, and there isn't one area that I have been to in PA., NY, or NJ., where I haven't had a 3G signal.

Why does anyone care what carrier the OP uses? The amount of "EDGE mocking" is insane... I bet all of you loved EDGE back when iPhone 2G was out
personally i cant remember that far back
Yes, I am aware. I was just agreeing with the person I quoted that you could easily photoshop your way into another network. I don't doubt the OP at all.
That's pretty cool OP, I just sold my 3GS to someone who is going to use it on T-mobile.
So can I have the original to the background please? haha.

"All the way to Canada"? If you live in Michigan, it takes less time to drive to Canada than it does to get to Ohio. And if you live near Detroit, you drive SOUTH to get to Canada.
Ah... The Windsor ballet.

He wants an unlocked phones and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, fully Unlocked phones are higher in price when being sold aftermarket. Also, if he travels overseas, there is no need to do unofficial unlock and play "cat and mouse" game with Apple on every single software update.
Personally, as mentioned before, I would purchase these fully unlocked iPhones as well if they have the white color but alas. I would NOT use T-Mobile, rather I will sign up for a no commitment AT&T. That being said, there is nothing wrong for using T-Mobile and pay $59.99 for 500 minutes + unlimited data + unlimited text + no contract.... as opposed for paying $69.99 for 450 minutes + 2GB data + 200 sms + 2 years contract + 5000 night/weekend minute.
I loved edge on my blackberry 8800... wait no I didn't, it Fing sucked. I just got used to waiting forever for webpages to load in the opera mobile browser. Emails downloaded just fine though.
3G on my iPhone 4 is like a breath of fresh air. Still, I use wifi more than anything as everywhere I go has a connection. My lab building has crappy wifi, so I use an ethernet-connected eeepc as an adhoc wifi hotspot when I'm at my desk.
Well there are people here who have spent $700-800 just to get one on AT&T. Id never spend that on a phone.
EDGE is annoying sometimes and i did it for two years on my iphone. If i could get a iP4 cheap enough, i may have still done it but i opted to go to a Vibrant with 3G instead.
Yep
And for you guys who hate on this shot. That's ok by me. I have shotty service with AT&T so I don't want to use them for the phone and my iPad too. Currently tethering 3G from my iPad anyways so I'm not using edge
Something does not jive.
First you have shotty ATT&T services, so you are using an unlocked phone on Tmobile, but then you are tethering for your iPad's 3G.
Which is it either you 3 G service is bad or it is good enough to tether with.

Actually you are using Edge, even if it is for just calls.

That is like saying "I bet you all liked you beepers back in the late 90's".
The whole premise of this thread is revealing within itself. Kind of like taking a picture of yourself and setting it as your desktop background...
