iPhone With T-Mobile 3G Bands Coming to Canadian Carrier?

Evan Blass | September 10, 2010 11:49 AM

Yet another tiny scrap of potential evidence has emerged to support the recent rumor that T-Mobile USA will be stocking the iPhone 3GS by the end of the year. According to Engadget, multiple tipsters who watched the live stream of a press conference launching new Canadian carrier Videotron reported that during a question-and-answer session, one of the company’s executive vice presidents suggested that an iPhone was also coming to his nascent network — a network which happens to use the same AWS 3G technology as our own T-Mobile.

Of course the mere existence of an AWS-compliant iPhone model does not in any way guarantee such a product finding its way onto T-Mobile’s shelves, but especially in light of analyst Shaw Wu’s opinion that carriers besides Verizon could be in the running as purveyors of Apple’s premiere device, today’s potential revelation could possibly spell good news for Magenta customers. After all, with a 1700MHz-friendly iPhone on the market just a few miles over our long, porous border with Canada, it would seem that unlocked Videotron units would quickly become the hot item to withhold from customs.
