Apple decided to extend the contract with AT&T because Foxconn would have had a hard time producing 30 million iPhones this year. If the iPhone 3G was available through T-Mobile, almost everyone on planet Earth would be buying the amazing iPhone since they wouldn't have a reason not to. As it is, Apple can barely keep up with supplying AT&T due to high demand, so currently there'd be little point offering it's use through T-Mobile.
Patience, my young T-Mobile padawans. The Apple Council will accept you in due time as you still have a bit more to learn about the Kool-Aid.

Oh hell no!
I guess my jailbroken 2.5G iPhone will be lasting me a bit longer.
does the T-Mobile iPhone from other countries work on USA T-Mobile?
Ridiculously long exclusivity periods. One good reason not to purchase any iCrap.
Ugh, why would they do this? AT&T (aka Death Star) is the reason I can't stand the otherwise flawlessly attractive iPhone.
Death Star is beyond awful. Death Star lies, Death Star cheats, Death Star extorts, Death Star delivers more bars of fail in more places.
