Confirmed 2 of 1 Million iPhones
I can confirm that 2 of my previous iPhone's are now running on T-Mobile's network. When I sold them the buyer specifically stated he was a current T-Mobile customer and he jail broke the phone to have it work with T-Mobile.

All these new carriers makes me glad I have waited until now to get an iPhone, cheapest rates get my business so let the games begin. 
This would single-handedly squash any and all margins on the Android side, as multi-carrier was one of the huge benefits.
I think they will just quietly fade away, never to be seen again. They might even get rid of her as a spokesperson in order to erase all memories

it's true. They show the "iphone" as a slick looking guy, but paired up with an old, slow guy. The "iphone" could easy go over and pair up with the girl instead!

Yeah! I can't believe you had to be without phone service for 4 hours, 4 hours!, after a once in a century Earthquake in an area of a country not designed to handle them! That is bulls**t!

I believe they are not compatible for data. That is why customers who use iPhones now on tMobile are limited to 2G. This may take years after the merger to resolve and by supporting tMobile now then I assume this would mean ALL Cell Towers could be supported sooner. Just a guess.
Sure hope this rumor comes to fruition, been a long time T-mobile customer.....woot!!!

I got tired of Edge speeds and worrying about if I accidentally upgraded my firmware so I made the switch but the call quality after about a year on AT&T seems about the same. Too bad we can't combine the call quality of Verizon with the AT&T 3G network.

Anorexic, but hot!
I'm guessing we'll see a new approach very soon! As for some of the comments about this killing Android devices, I doubt it. Too many people like it and are too cost sensitive to just buy an iPhone. But, as one poster noted... I do think it's going to eat into their margins as they will want to be at a lower price point to compete once the playing field is level.
Sorry guys this won't happen. Samsung launched on 4 carriers first with the galaxy S line and apple does not copy.
What is mactrast? never heard of them before.
This is great and not just for TMob customers, but for international customers that have carriers that also use AWS. Even better would be if Apple sold them unlocked and required that the carrier also sell them unlocked, like they do for Google's Nexus.

I don't know about tailspin. The iPhone is available on EVERY major carrier in Canada, as well as most minor and discount carriers. You can even purchase unlocked iPhones through Apple (for a premium of course). The mobile industry is not in a tailspin, it's just a little (tiny bit) more competitive now. Still have ridiculous rates, mind you.
Finally Unlocked iPhone 5 (with 2 year contract)
when it goes to T-Mobile then ATT need to sell unlocked also ...
Then we will know, att and apple plays out the "locking iPhone"

What I want for Christmas
What I want for Christmas is a new feature in iOS: "Automatically switch to best carrier." If I'm in a Verizon-friendly area, my iPhone would switch to Verizon. If T-Mobile has a stronger signal, it would switch to T-Mobile. AT&T? Unlikely, but if AT&T is stronger, it would switch to AT&T automatically.
Then I'd pay Apple every month instead of whatever carrier is trying to lock me in at the time. This, of course, is probably unfeasible. I don't think any of the carriers would really want this to happen. :-(
