Don't be surprised if Apple offers the iPhone on T-Mobile (eventually). T-mobile's network is all EDGE now and their (slowly) expanding 3g coverage. By 2010 t-mobile's network might be comparable to AT&t's now.

Yes, but by 2010 AT&T will have their LTE out which is what? 7mbps?
3G will be old news in 2010. T-mobile would do better to invest in WiMAX or lease tower space from AT&T or Verizon.
In my area, Verizon's service is considerably better. I'd switch back in a second if they got the iPhone
I believe Apple approached Verizon about an iphone exclusive before anyone else. Obviously they thought a CDMA phone would be feasible.
ATT's customer service is incompetant. I think we all know that when trying to find information about the iPhone from them.
Apple has already made a new phone with a different radio. Many phone makers make more than one radio model. It's not that hard to imagine, unless you think Apple is exceptionally incompetent.
Apple makes its own employees, contractors, and AT&T employees sound incompetent because it gives out zero more information to its workers than it does to the general public. It's not the teams' fault who are answering the phones. Now, I will agree that there are cases where people who don't know something make something up, which is kind of stupid. But just not knowing something isn't their fault.
I want to know this too, o2 in my opinion have been the best network I have been on them all, aslong as their 3g network is rolled out more I will be a happy chappy.
I think if Apple really wanted to go for the world dominance of the cellular phone, they should just sell the phone unlocked and work with any service provider, and the individual would get a smartphone plan that the provider offers but NOOO they went with AT&T....
seriously?
ATT's coverage is based on global coverage (most of Europe in included, where you pay roaming charges)
ATT's customer service is incompetant. I think we all know that when trying to find information about the iPhone from them. Verizon's customer service is a million times better. If/When the iPhone comes to verizon, I'm switching back.
No loss. They are all basically the same to me. Anyways, there is always Jail breaking for people that love the other phone company that much.

I don't think your icon of Ned Flanders justifies a quote to "Jail Break" a phone.
It's against Apple's policies and as much as I hate the 2.0 release with it's bugs I'd never Jail Break a phone. It's unethical to say the least.
You bought the phone and agreed to the terms. My guess is people who Jail Break phones have illegal satelite or cable boxes.
I'm a PC Guy with a Mac Phone but I still have Morals. Personally I wish AT&T and Apple would brick a Jail Broken phone for good if it meant a lower end user price!
