“The reasons for the cuts aren’t known. The Vibrant is now a few months old but is still the network’s premier smartphone. Its Galaxy Tab was already tied for Sprint for the least expensive model on contract,” Electronista reports. “As the smallest of the large national carriers, T-Mobile has often had to use price to draw in customers and may simply be hoping to get an edge over others. Early price cuts, however, are usually signs of slow sales.”

MacDailyNews Take: These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. You want an iPad and an iPhone. Move along.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Jax44” for the heads up.]
I’m sure T-Mobile would prefer carrying the iPhone, but it’s likely they’ll be shut out by Verizon.
Bad deal for Apple supporters who happen to be with the wrong carrier out of necessity.
Nothing official has been said yet. The GSM iPhone could very be made available for T-Mobile and the CDMA iPhone could very well be available for Sprint early next year.
It might soon become more than an ATT & Verizon co-monopoly. (I hope)
“The reasons for the cuts aren’t known.”
Unless you covered basic economic principles in high school Social Studies.
No matter how cheap you sell it for, it still isn’t an iPad.
Prices will have to keep dropping to compete with the overall iPad package. Remember that a QUALITY dedicated iOS is one of the iPad’s strong points.
Android. FecesWare
Gee, you would have thought that Samsung could keep its prices on the Galaxy Tab high after “it sold 1 million units.”
Sick of the promotional BS from anal-ysts.
@Paul Johnson
I’m sorry to have correct you this way but Samsung did “sell” 1,000,000 Galaxy Tabs. They were all sent to North Korea as Dear Leader’s Christmas gift. Well they couldn’t very well bomb Pyongyang in retaliation so did the next best thing: flooding the DPRK with crapware.
2 nights ago HSN was selling these on tv . the women selling couldnt legally say ipad to compare galaxy to, so they said “iGuy” instead. they looked so stupid. I laughed when they said the android OS is going to take over and make iGuy obsolete. Sad.
@Ballmer’s left nut
Nice! Who needs Stuxnet when you’ve got a Galaxy Tab.
As soon as Verizon starts selling the iPhone, t-mumble may be done… OR they may instantly go to top of the buy-out list.. Either way – they’re cooked…
@X
………… NICE!
It’s too bad the Justice Dept. would block AT&T from buying up VZ. That would solve many problems.
@ Bwinski:
not necessarily. Anyone who has completed his ATT contract or has bought an unlocked iPhone can move over to T-Mobile painlessly.
