I concur. Do some research first. 4 major providers (or 5, counting Alltel) in the US. 2 GSM, 2 (or 3) CDMA. iPhone is GSM and can only work on 2 at most, and AT&T has 2 year (1 year remaining) exclusivity with Apple. And on T-Mobile the new iPhone would kind of suck, since it's 3G but almost all of T-Mobile USA still lacks a 3G network.
Maybe in 2010 when the shift to 4G starts happening and 3 of those 4 carriers move to the same LTE technology, the whatever umpteenth generation iPhone will work on all those networks.
