Post iphone for Tmobile
So anyone have an unlocked iphone and using it with Tmobile service?

Does it work well? I heard everything is flawless except for the digital voicemail?

Also heard that you can save $20 by eliminating the blackberry data plan and still get all the same functionality?

Im considering getting one, someone offer some advice please. :D

First thing I would say is don't get one. Today some head dude over at at&t said that we can expect the 3G iphone within the next few months. I'm holding out, but the second that drops I'm upgrading to that. I'll be saying peace out to verizon!!!

I wouldn't be THAT optimistic about when the 3G iPhone comes out... My contract with Verizon ends in July, so that means the 3G iPhone won't come out until way after then... :wink:

if you guys aren't crazy about minutes...get on at & t's prepaid plan (gophone) - when you sign up via itunes use the ssn 999-99-9999 and it'll automatically give you 3 different options one being prepaid.

i pay $59.99 a month for 400 anytime, 500 N&W and unlimited inet/email
NO CONTRACT :D

I do not. And I don't want one. I think the only way I'll get one is if I have to for work reasons.

I don't have a land line phone, but Skylar and I have matching chocolates. I wish I had an iphone!

His is blue, mine is Black Cherry.

This does not imply that we will ever wear matching outfits on a cruise. not for many years at least.

yea I think everyone was expecting a June upgrade...the one year old benchmark and the SDK. Personally I feel no need to update by 8gig I phone ive had since august to a new model just cause of the 3G. Also I think they wanted to wait for the year benchmark cause you have to sign a two year contract when getting it and I believe that your allowed to sign a two year with only a year left...could be wrong on that but I remember having something like that on tmobile

I think they have a window of 30 days for people when new products come out... I think that's how Apple does it with their computers. I'm not sure if AT&T has a different window.
