This pretty much puts the nail in the coffin of T-MO.....You cannot be the only carrier without the iPhone.
This opens the Flood Gates big time.

Now Sprint has a chance to pick off even more customers from them. The longer the merger is delayed the more time they will have to do that.

If it is "all over" for TM, why should the AT&T deal be blocked?

Somebody forgot two little words, "this year". That does not mean that they're not getting it next year if the merger does not go thru.

Did you hear those words come out of his mouth? Yet another rumor with Apple's name attached to it. Is there an actual iphone 5?

According to your theory Verizon and Sprint should of died a couple years ago by not having the iPhone, funny its T-Mobile that should call it quits now. What a bunch of short sighted and arrogant people we have become.

I think it was different when 2 or 3 carriers didn't have the iPhone. But with only T-Mobile not having it now, along with the fact that they've been struggling anyway and losing customers, it just doesn't look like they have a future without a merger.

I think the decreased customer service and increased cost of plans, fees, etc as of late would be a more likely culprit in T-Mobile's demise. There are as many people that are happy with a strong Android line up as there are those who want an iPhone 5. Just saying.

To heck with flowers and candy, leave the jewelry at the store, but when it comes to cell phones, I always want one more.

Tell that to AT&T who probably would have lost customers over the past 3 years if they didn't have the exclusive on the iPhone. Instead they gained millions.

A lot of people care about the iPhone, enough that people switch carriers for it. I personally don't care about it as I prefer Android, but it still should be offered as an option. If T-Mobile is the only carrier not offering it, it will most definitely cost customers.
As far as T-Mobile "increased plan costs" can you point me to that? T-Mobile is actually cheaper than Sprint, so not sure where you got that from.
For example, my Sprint Everything 450 plan is $79.99 a month. My T-Mobile 500 minute, unlimited text, and 2GB data (throttled afterwards but still technically "unlimited") is $49.99 a month. $30 difference. And with T-Mobile I get free hotspot out of the box, officially supported, so I can use my data anyway I choose. With Sprint, you have to pay an extra $30 for the hotspot feature on top of the data you're already paying for. So it'd actually be $60 more a month on Sprint for similar plans if you include hotspot.
ATT and Verizon both got rid of their unlimited data plans not too long after offering the iPhone, so no reason to believe Sprint will stand out in the crowd. (Especially with many of their recent decisions - ETF increase, upgrade fee increase, administrative charge increase, etc.)
That will leave only T-Mobile as the "value" carrier for postpaid, so it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out end of this year and into next.
If ATT doesn't buy them, someone else will as DT seems deadset on wanting to get out of the U.S. market.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
I know it seems petty, but you have to compare apples to apples ... Your tmo plan is not identical to sprints... Does it have anymobile? , or the tv stuff, that you get with sprints "everything" plan? I know you might not use it as I don't always myself, but if you were to add those would the plan not be the same or more than Sprint? What time.does your n/w start...
All I am saying is there is more offered on the Sprint plan... I wish I could get some of that stuff off and get a plan like yours from Sprint... Cause I don't always use it

I would love to own an HSPA capable iPhone 5 on T-Mobile's fast data network around here for work. Unfolding events relating to the T-Mobile USA acquisition by AT&T probably have a lot to do with the US subsidiaries ability to strike a deal with Apple. T-Mobie's CTO's words appear very damning at first read but so far nobody officially had confirmed or denied this story so who knows?
I believe the industry in general is going to be paying close attention to the events that take place tomorrow as AT&T/DT and the Justice Dept. sit down in front of a Judge and offer ideas for a settlement with both sides preferring to avoid an expensive, lengthy and very costly trial. A lot of what happens in the next few days may change the tide in either direction in this hotly debated and overly political transaction.
