T-Mobile Talks Up Apple
ABC News reports on a T-Mobile press conference on Friday which discussed their future plans.
T-Mobile has spent $4.2 billion for new wireless spectrum licenses covering the U.S. The new spectrum will require new phones that T-Mobile has been working on with Motorola, Nokia, and Siemens for a mid-2007 launch.
For some reason, T-Mobile's Chief Executive Robert Dotson reportedly discussed "at some length about how Apple's and T-Mobile's visions seem to be aligned."
While Dotson declined to comment about any partnership between the companies, he spoke highly of Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

hmm interesting. seems a bit funny how he speaks highly of Apple, compares both their visions, yet declines anything going on. Although, I guess its a way to win people over. Complement someone else in the hope they like you for it.

Sounds like the iPhone might actually be real! :eek: :D
...But the motive behind those kind words is still uncertain. Does Robert Dotson know about the iPhone, trying to convince Apple to make it a T-mobile exclusive, or have they already signed the contract, and these kind words towards Apple were more of a "thanks?"

Interesting indeed, I would love for the two companies to be in bed together... Interesting things for consumers might result. I see T-Mobile as a fresh alternative to Cingular... Plus, T-Mobile could use better designed phones, who better to hook them up with some Innovative ideas?;)

It makes sense. A lot of rumors have hinted that the iPhone will debut with Cingular, but a lot of the good phones end up showing up with T-mobile a short time after launching on Cingular.

I hope the rumored iPhone comes to T-Mobile, since that's who I currently have my plan with.

A t-mobile exclusive iPhone makes me feel like a dark cloud has covered my heart and is raining on it.
Ok, so maybe it is not that serious, but really, please, iPhone, don't be carrier exclusive!

If Apple wanted to make their phone available worldwide, signing with T-mobile would be the better choice. Compared to Cingular, Deutsche Telekom (the parent company to T-mobile USA) has a much larger market worldwide, covering Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena, and Slovakia.
...Although Apple could sign a contract with just T-mobile USA; anything is possible.
