I... may have just bought a pair of unlocked+jailbroken 2g iPhones with firmware 3.0 on them on ebay so we can use them on t-mobile.
I can't tell you how excited that makes my not-so-inner geek.
why: we like tmobile, don't want to sign a new 2-year contract with AT&T (iphone 3gs) or Sprint (palm pre), and the price on used 2g iphones just dropped drastically when the 3gs hit. We can probably sell them for close to what I just paid (if not more than, got a good deal) in a couple months if we think it's not working out, but likely we'll hang onto them until either the iphone breaks it's exclusivity with AT&T or a really compelling piece of Android hardware hits the market. So far Android phones have suh-uked. (Two syllables, they suck that bad. no offense to those of you who have them, but no headphone jack? fr srs?)
mood:  cheerful

... unlocked iphones work on Tmobile, just no 3G data speeds. ^_^
The unlocking process can be a touch arcane, and it was no more expensive to buy unlocked ones than standard ones, so I just let someone else do the work. heh. ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/27563264/444394) | | From: |  fennel |

Yay!
Being able to ssh from a telephone has not lost its amazing ridiculousness for me. pshaw, I do that from my blackberry now. ;-) I really do miss T-Mobile.... ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/60856227/7435430) | | From: | drwex |

I think all carriers suck in roughly equal measures. I want an Android, as a geek, but... SHINEY! ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/101624321/51242) | | | Re: I'll be interested to see how this works out | (Link) |

I actually have zero complaints about tmobile. shocker. I really do want an iphone... but I really can't stand at&t...
it's either that or the Pre... I <3 palm
but it's the same thing... hated sprint when I had it, and have yet to have problems with Verizon...
