TMobile allows me to use any GSM capable phone that uses a sim card,
provided the phone is not locked to another network.

Apparently, things like voicemail features on the iPhone are tightly integrated into Cingular's network, as such feature would require deployment of code on both sides. Such features, as such would not be available on Tmobile and other networks, even if the GSM feature worked.

Yep. But I'd _still_ want to use it on Orange Switzerland in June.

Another bad thing: It has GSM!!!! How old is that? My 6 year old Nokia that has a black & white display uses that. Why doesnt it have UMTS or HSDPA?? I mean come on! GSM came out 15 years ago - that isnt very modern.

PS for Fryke: The iPhone wont come out in Europe (maybe UK, but everything else I mean) because first of all: Right now they work with Cingular, and that doesnt exist in Europe but also because... well.. yea thats the only reason. But dreaming cant hurt, can it eh?

GSM is used more around the world then other technologies that's why it's GSM. GSM is used all over Europe and the iPhone is supposed to be released in Europe at the end of this year and Asia in 2008. The visual voicemail won't work without the provider's cooperation but there's nothing saying that Apple isn't working with European providers as well.

and to be fair, i don't think people are going to go "no visual voicemail? then Pah! i don't want this PoS!"

GSM may be old, but so is UNIX. Still good. I don't need UMTS. And yeah it *will* come out in Europe this year according to Apple. So that's settled.
