The loan term is for 24 months or until paid off. The phone is not unlocked until paid off. Only the 16gb is interest free; there is a monthly interest rate applied for the 32gb or 64gb iPhone 5.
A TMo iPhone 5 buyer also has to sign up for and only can sign up for one of 3 plans.
The company, as yet, does not offer their iPhone 5 to existing TMo users on other plans and refuses to say when they will. Those existing users, as before, either must wait until .... who knows when, or buy their unlocked iPhone elsewhere and bring it over to remain on and be grandfathered into their existing plan. TMo seems to be waiting to see how many new customers they net before servicing existing customers who want to keep their existing talk/data plan (which is likely cheaper than the new 3 Simple plans).
I agree that if it is indeed false and was written to manipulate the stock, then the SEC should crackdown big on that analyst.
I am frankly tired of all these lying and clueless analysts, manipulating the markets. Any analyst manipulating the market or any stock should be put behind bars for a long time IMO.

Good for Apple & T-Mobile, hopefully
T-Mobiles reception improves with their updates
T-Mobile should improve dramatically in the near future as a result of the frequency bands granted to T-Mobile from AT&T as a result of a clause contained within negotiations wherein AT&T attempted to acquire T-Mobile (Band 4) (1700/2100 MHz frequency band pair) (AWS) and as T-Mobile continues to refarm and upgrade their Band 2 UMTS (1900 MHz) (PCS).
For the past few days my iPhone 4s has displayed "T-Mobile 4G" in the status bar. This has never happened before. I assume I am still capped at 3G?
Depending upon your coverage area you may have access to T-Mobile 1900 MHZ (PCS) HSPA+ at up to 14.4 Mbps (the limit of the iPhone 4S) as a result of T-Mobile refarming their bandwidth.
I think that it all comes down to where somebody lives.
I have never been on T-mobile, but it's supposedly decent in my neck of the woods.
In my opinion, T-Mobile is certainly worthy of a second look.
T-Mobile has been aggressively improving their services (if not their service):
Cost
HD Voice (wideband audio on iPhone 5)
Best failback network (HSPA + 42 Mbps) (well... Failback if you are in a LTE service area)
Most frequency bandwidth per customer (as much frequency bandwidth as AT&T but with a much smaller customer base)
"Captured" additional frequency bands as a result of AT&T's failed acquisition (brilliant negotiating, IMO)
"Captured" additional frequency bands in 125 metropolitan areas as a result of Verizon concessions to the FCC
Acquisition of MetroPCS increases the frequency bands and the number of towers dramatically in some areas
Just wait until all those Verizon customers upgrade to LTE. You will see your LTE speeds fall off dramatically. Verizon has, by far, the least amount of frequency bandwidth per customer of the four major carriers in the United States. * I hear very good comments about Verizon but this worries me a bit.
People waiting in line outside yet another cell carrier that announced availability of the iPhone, albeit a phone that is approaching a year old. There you go Samsung... fodder for yet another lame TV commercial to boast of your Galaxy S IV...

The iPhone 5 went on sale September 21, 2012. It is less than 6 months old.
My friend and I went to T-Mobile today. She bought an iPhone 5. It is for 24 months. Do the math. The phone costs 579. She paid 99 down. To pay the rest at $20 a month she needs 24 months. You also have to pay the sales tax for the whole purchase at the time of paying the $99.

I along with my ex-girlfriend went to T-Mobile today in Ann Arbor Michigan. Unlike usual, the T-Mobile Store was very busy. The staff was friendly, and they set her phone up immediately. There was a small line when we arrived, and the staff said the line was much longer when the store opened.
The 4G data speed is phenomenal (at least in our area). I tested the hotspot feature on her phone on my Mac, and she used Facetime over 4G. We streamed Netflix video, downloaded apps, and listened to Pandora all over 4G.
Unless you got a special deal, T-Mobile is definately worth a look. Assuming you live in an area with good coverage, you get more for less. For two lines with unlimited everything (with a 2GB cap on 4G) we pay (I am still on her plan) $99 a month. Moreover, T-Mobile is an underdogand it seems to be much hungrier in trying to win you over and keeping you.

Thank you for the information.
I am in no way endorsing T-Mobile or any of the other [plague] carriers. I simply think they may have improved somewhat and may be the lesser evil.
Hendrix' version of the Star Spangled Banner used to make people shit their pants in anger. Now it is background music for a mainstream tv commercial. Not sure what to make of it.

I knew that the new Blackberry wasn't going to do that great, but I have never even heard about this before, this is insane.
“In several cases, returns are now exceeding sales, a phenomenon we have never seen before,” Detwiler Fenton said.
More returns than sales? Wow.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-11/blackberry-falls-on-reports-of-weakening-sales-returns-of-z10.html
In all fairness, Blackberry is claiming the report is false, and their legal team is taking it up with both the US and Canadian market regulators. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-tech/post/the-circuit-blackberry-seeks-sec-review-of-analyst-report/2013/04/12/0cd1699e-a38d-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_blog.html
I wish Apple's legal team showed similar b***s.
If T-mo hadn't lost me due to their slowness in adopting the iPhone, I would've taken this deal.

Yessssssssss ????????
I hope T-Mobile hired extra security to keep that crowd in the picture above in line.
Now that T-Mobile has the phone I'd love to leave Verizon and jump over to the cheaper T-Mobile. But Verizon coverage is just too good

Well, to be fair, it does sound like there are BlackBerry Z10 lines.
Just they're at the return desk.
