[...] Leading up to the iPad I was considering waiting for tethering to become an option on my iPhone, but we know that won’t be happening any time soon. AT&T has dropped down my hate list due to the improvements to their network in my area, however they don’t seem to have a plan to allow tethering any time soon. [...]

Kevin — The problem with Tmobile is that they are losing customers! They are losing major market share in the US to AT&T and Verizon because they aren’t able to secure new smart phones exclusively.

I think that Verizon getting a CDMA compatible phone is probably going to happen, especially since the latest reports on Android passing up iPhone in market-share is simply due to the fact that the OS / phones are available on so many carriers and to “Buy 1 get 1 free” plans.

Honestly, my main complaints about AT&T these days are: 1) They haven’t allowed tethering on the iPhone — however, I now have a 3G iPad and no longer care about tethering for myself, however I still think it should be available and 2) Their data coverage is spotty for me… however that is probably due to the rural location I’m in.

I think Tmobile will be a logical choice because they use the same technologies as AT&T and Deutsche Telekom (they own Tmo) already carry the iPhone in Europe.

Anyone that complains about Tmobile service would have the same issues with any other carrier. “How come I have a weak signal 3 stories underground in this parking garage?!? Ugh I hate (insert carrier here)!”

Absolutely, 100% Verizon. Though I’d love for AT&T to just work, they are definitely not doing anything to enamor their customers right now.

I’m giving AT&T a trial run for the next 2 years. Hopefully they’ll prove their worth.
