Corey Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 T-Mobile’s chief marketing officer Cole Brodman recently published a letter on the company’s official blog addressing customers and discussing the carrier’s view on the iPhone. At first glance, it reads like a simple breakdown as to why T-Mobile doesn’t offer the iPhone. Brodman’s explanation of T-Mobile’s current iPhone situation, however, also reads a bit like a plea to Apple. “Today, there are over a million T-Mobile customers using unlocked iPhones on our network,” Brodman explains. “We are interested in offering all of our customers a no-compromise iPhone experience on our network,” he added, suggesting that Apple and T-Mobile have not been able to reach an agreement that would allow T-Mobile to sell the phone directly. Read on for more. “Please know that we think the iPhone is a great device and Apple knows that we’d like to add it to our line-up,” Brodman said. He then noted T-Mobile’s current focus on Android smartphones, such as the newly announced HTC Amaze and Samsung Galaxy S II, and its expanding 4G network. “We’re very confident that these Android smartphones rival or beat any smartphone out there in terms of functionality, speed, overall experience and features – including the iPhone,” he argued. That comment is open for debate, and Brodman’s comments certainly suggest T-Mobile will not be among the carriers to offer the next-generation iPhone, which Apple will reveal on October 4th.

Artisan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 T-Mobile still gets way too many awesome phones that I don't think their service/reception warrants xD Quote
Corey Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah... I have t-mobile and while I have great reception in the city limits, outside them is a different story! I have had to replace 2 phones before and I had no issues so I am ok with that Quote
