so since Apple has a t-mobile iPhone coming out...

.. will tmobile users still need to be unlocking the phone when this comes out? could we just buy t-mobile version of the phone from germany and put our sim cards in it?

i still don't understand the obsession of using the iPhone with a smaller network .. i guess its wanting something we cant legally have ..

if it was a tmobile exclusive, people would be finding ways to get it to run on cingular.

yeah i kno but as shown here http://www.iPhonefaq.org/archives/97277 germany will have exclusive for tmobile.. once this comes out, could tmobile subscribers in the US buy one from germany and put their sim card to work over here?

Some people may already have a contract with Tmobile? Tmobile does have better prices. Maybe some people get better coverage with tmobile over cingular in certain cities.
