What's the matter? Can't afford an iPhone?
I'm really sick and tired of hearing all this fucking iPhone bashing from people too fucking poor to buy an iPhone. Just because life took a dump on you doesn't give you the right to take a dump on the iPhone. Admit it - the iPhone is the greatest phone ever invented (and I include the phone that Alistair Gramm Bell invented).
"WAAAH! I'm so fucking poor! WAAAAH! I can't pay my phone bill with WELFARE! WAAAH! Obama won't buy me iPhones with his stimulus bill! WAAAAH! Pay me for being a Poor!"
All you people who bitch about iPhones are just Poors and you deserve to be shot. #tmobileprojectdark

"Hmm." Looks around. "Who are all these people?" "Weekend crowd must be from the 'burbs." #tmobileprojectdark

Looks like it would really take some major redesign to "bring the iPhone to every carrier," no? If every AT&T customer with an iPhone could--and did--take their iPhone to T-Mo, they would shit, because the iPhone won't talk to their high speed network at 1.7/2.1 GHz, and if you think AT&T has capacity issues with the iPhone, it would absolutely cripple T-Mo's 1.9 GHz network--T-Mo doesn't have anywhere near the spectrum of AT&T.
The Apple exclusive with AT&T was *Apple's* choice. They calculated they would get more money out of working with AT&T than any other carrier. That IS competition. #tmobileprojectdark

Competition = good.
Good = not company policy.
therefore
Competition = not company policy.
This works with a variety of other situations.
--Google Voice app on iPhone = good.
--Hulu on Boxee = good.
-- Easy to understand instructions on IKEA-knock-off furniture that doesn't rely solely on friggin' ambiguous not-to-scale diagrams = good.
Seriously. I'm gonna break this friggin' end table. #tmobileprojectdark

Like, super duper hard. #tmobileprojectdark

@zoolook: Yeah, that is why the Curve for AT&T is the 8300 and the Curve for Verizon is the 8330. Try taking your 8330 and activating it on AT&T. Let me say this slowly. It. Is. A. Different. Phone. With. The. Same. Name.
Got it? #tmobileprojectdark

For those of you who only read Gizmodo, the deets on Project Dark are as follows.
1 - T-mo will be pushing that 21Mbps HSPA+ data service they just test deployed in Philadelphia, nationwide. Speculation has the nationwide roll out of T-mo's 21Mbps HSPA+ to be largely complete by the halfway point in 2010. So pretty much if you live in a larger metropolitan region already covered under T-mo's network, by next July you should be able to take advantage of the new speeds.
2 - As part of Project Dark (or Project Black, depending on the source), roll out of their 21Mbps HSPA+ network will accompany a new all-you-can-eat price plan that includes voice, data, SMS and MMS. Speculation once again has the price plan firmly set at $50/month.
3 - Finally, Project Dark will be launching with new 3.5G smartphones outfitted to take full advantage of 21Mbps HSPA+. The initial line-up of 21Mbps HSPA+ smartphones include two Android phones, a Blackberry and Nokia's new Maemo 5 powered tablet:
Blackberry 9700 (Bold 2)
Motorola CLIQ
Samsung Behold II
Nokia N900
Super, new network speeds, super low rate plan and a handful of phones that people actually care about. If true, T-Mobile has a whole lot of win in it's immediate future. Only thing missing so far, is the inclusion of Archos' new Android phone, based off the Archos 5 Media Tablet, set to premier in January at CES. Now that's a phone that I can get excited about.

What also has been known for a long time is that its the Nokia n9000 which is anticipated and has received lots of interest from people on this site.

Nokia has made solid phones for a long time now.
I was more than happy at Tmo since sidekick color and left for a far worse experience at ATT with the iphone.
The N900 will bring me back to Tmo and there will be punch and pie!

I do, however, mind parting with a CRAPload of my money. I think the Giz is sayin that the Samsung phones are generally pretty boring, and the decent Nokia phones are either boring and affordable, or ridiculously expensive to obtain.
I think most of the Giz-gadgeteers here are sensible folk who want affordable tech.

For Project Black to work, they really do have to have that 50 dollar unlimited internet/text and minute plan. Why? Because sprint has Unlimited internet/text, and 450 minutes for 60 bucks, and damn near every virtual cellphone network is going everything unlimited for 50 bucks. Additionally they have to throw their FULL SUPPORT onto smartphone platforms like Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile (I don't like it, but its better than Symbian), and not just the MyTouch and whatever Google branded HTC phones the company manages to get their hands on.
And finally, they need to find a new Sidekick. The Sidekick sells gangbusters yes, but either T-Mo is going to have to seriously push Microsoft to make serious revisions to their product, or find someone who will make something similar but of better quality with a better OS.
