i recently purchased my daughter a iTouch and i must admit, that thing is pretty sweet! now i'm "considering" buying an unlocked iPhone, but to use on TMO.

anyone here using an unlocked iPhone on TMO? if so, kindly give me some input on how the phone performs on the TMO network. i understand ATT has a different 3G network, but that's not a real deal breaker for me.

any major con's/gripes with this combo?!

TIA

I've unlocked plenty of phones for my friends to use with T-mobile.

You don't get 3G Speed, or Visual Voicemail, but everything else works. So dose MMS.

Not really. The original iphone was just fine on 2g. Yes the 3g is quicker, but everything else on the phone is identical. Plus I run my iphone on wifi 75% of the time anyways.

The Andriod G1 is great for about a month. Then you realize it is crap. I sold my G1 on ebay and switched back to the iphone in no time.

I have a iphone on tmobile right now. I sold my Android G1 phone after a few months and purchase another iphone. G1 is crap, iphone FTW.

Not worth getting the 3g model, since it will be running on tmobile's 2g network anyways.

No problems at all with the unlocked iphone on tmobile. I had a iphone on ATT previous to my G1 purchase, call quality on the tmobile network is much better. And tmobile's customer service is unmatched.
this is what i'm hearing! do you have a source to buy an unlocked 2g's?

Best thing to do is watch ebay and craigslist for the 2g's. Find someone that babied their phone.
