What do you think about T-Mobile getting the iPhone?
A. Finally! Love it!
B. Yawn. Already have one.
C. Fine. When is it coming to Metro PCS?
D. Doesn’t everybody have it?
T-Mobile has been in trouble for a number of years. Users were becoming concentrated in only two of the major wireless carriers (AT&T and Verizon). Like Sprint, T-Mobile has been losing subscribers. Sprint bet big on the iPhone, and whether or not T-Mobile sells a lot of them, having it sends a signal that they are a contender and a viable wireless carrier.
The question is will existing customers and potential customers be impressed.
