[FONT=&amp]T-Mobile waited long enough to get its hands on the iPhone, and now, judging by today’s report on AppleInsider, it is already enjoying the fruits of its partnership with Apple, as the company has just disclosed in its Q1 earnings report that it expects a very strong showing for Q2, having sold 500,000 iPhones since it first started carrying them on April 12. This will be a very welcome and much-needed upturn for the company, as AppleInsider reports that the Q1 results for T-Mobile showed a 7.1 year-over-year decline in revenue, with adjusted earnings reaching $1.2 billion for the quarter ending March 31. Also encouraging for T-Mobile are the quarter-on-quarter numbers, which were up.
