I have a friend in Sprint and he said that they got a Memo... "Iphone goes to Verizon this year"

I told him that I if had a penny for each time... but he said: Sprint is sending that information to the trainings for employees.

So we will see if that comes true...

@zephxiii Sprint and many companies have information about the competitors, I used to work at Nokia and we has info about Motorola, Sony, LG, etc. I don't have idea from where they get that info, but there were presentations about the competitors.]]>Jun 1st 2010 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/

More liekly than not, the contract will have early termination clauses somewhere within it.

AT&T will likely have wanted the right to end it early if the iPhone didn't meet required sales and subscriber targets.

Apple may have stipulated they get to go home if AT&T fails to provide sufficient service to support the device.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/

I have a feeling this is going to turn ulgy. Turn into something I wake up and deal with every day. I'm talking about the Canadian telcos.

The plans are extremely similar, the pricing is exactly the same and even the tiny fees that you never notice are being increased to match their "Competitors". Service isn't bad on any of the carriers...

Plus, this is pretty darn obvious. Yes! There are advantages to being on more than one carrier! For one, not everyone is on the same carrier, so more carriers=more customers!

Yes, I understand, but it's just funny how coy his answer is.

"It might be."]]>Jun 1st 2010 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/
Can you explain that statement to me, because Foxconn is a TW OEM... and they seem to be doing OK, and they seem to love doing business with Apple.

They might not like Apple auditing them all the time, but they love making iPads and iphones and Macs...

The way I see it, if AT&T and T-Mobile both carry the iPhone then it would no longer be about who has the hotter phones but who can have the cheapest data plans. Seeing as how AT&T wants to roll out LTE in the near future and T-Mobile just wants to beefcake out its 3G footprint, I see T-Mobile having an edge in that fight since it's easier to invest in more backhaul and software upgrades than build an entirely new network. ]]>Jun 1st 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooo]]>Jun 2nd 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 2nd 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/Jun 1st 2010 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-there-might-be-advantages-to-two-iphone-carriers-i/
Here in Canada there are 3 carriers (or 5, depending on how you look at it) that have the iPhone... more is always better.

Now that I've grown up, all I have for Jobs is a big fat "meh". Android FTW.

And even if it does go to Verizon, non fanboys are fickle so of course the iphone would peak in sales yet again, until Jobs invents another tech gap we didnt know we had, while Android spreads from microwaves to cars to TVs doncha know.
