Will T-Mobile Finally Get the iPhone?

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which technology editor/analyst Andrew Tonner and technology analyst Evan Niu discuss topics across the investing world.

Since AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile has fallen through, the carrier has inadvertently given T-Mobile the possibility of getting the iPhone soon. T-Mobile received some valuable spectrum as part of the breakup fee, which future iPhones should be compatible with. The ball is now in Apple's court on whether it will let T-Mobile in on the action.

AT&T is riding the revolution. However, the company is just one way to play this amazing opportunity for technology investors. The Motley Fool has a just-released free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion Dollar Revolution" that details a "hidden" component play inside mobile phones that's also absolutely dominating the exploding tech market in China. Inside the report, we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend. Hundreds of thousands have requested access to previous reports, but you can be among the first to access this just-released report by clicking here -- it's free.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

    T-Mobile's problem is that they have no 4G hence even if they get the iPhone it will be a 3G version, while ATT, VZ and Sprint sell Apple's next iteration with LTE come this October.

    So the next question begs on whether it is worth paying the subsidy to Apple when you don't have a 4G LTE network?

    The only solution that I can see T Mobile has is to syndicate with Clearwire's TD LTE buildout and partner up with Sprint since Lightsquared seems to be a long shot at best. All other options in the near term are just not feasible.
