With my Sprint contract coming to an end I'd like to upgrade from my dinky phone to an Iphone 3g.

Unfortunately, living in the United States, AT&T has the exclusive contract with Apple, and is the only carrier I will be able to sign onto. I have read complaints about their 3g coverage in some parts of the Chicago area with AT&T.

I know that Sprint has the largest 3g network in this country, and T-mobile is also starting to set up 3g networks as well.


So I'm wondering if the Iphone will forever continue to be an AT&T exclusive, hopefully not... and if not... When? When should I buy my Iphone?!
