Chrisr, I guess our love for iPhones AND Simple Mobile aren't compatible. Over the last couple of days i've learned, if a person uses Simple Mobile, then the iPhone is really not the best mobile device at all because, Number One, iPhone's aren't 4G, and Number Two, they aren't really 3G either ( if you use an unlocked 3G iPhone with your Simple Mobile ). if you use an iPhone on T-Mobile you will only be able to use the edge connection. And yes, CDMA iPhones cannot use data and voice at the same time, it is just the nature of the technology.
Put another way someone said - " You will not get 3G if you get an iPhone. Simple Mobile uses T-Mobile's frequency bands. The iPhone is compatible with AT&T's 3G frequency bands. If you get an unlocked iPhone, you will only get EDGE, and your browser will be slow unless you use WiFi ".
So what do i like better, Simple Mobile or the iPhone ? I think i like Simple Mobile better. Therfore, now looking to get an UNLOCKED LG THRILL 4G WITH 3D DISPLAY. IN BRAND NEW CONDITION. UNLOCKED FOR ALL GSM USE. <------as seen on Craigslist
57iPhOnE, encouraging iPhones and Simple Mobile isn't really the best option. I wish it was!
