I saw this on another website:

Oh the rumours keep flying in about the anticipated Apple iPhone 4G for 2010, we have already mentioned about its release date and features and now we have some more to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Ok so the new iPhone 4G what we know already will most certainly have a much improved GPS, a 5MP camera, image sensors being supplied by OmniVision even though according to iPhone Help it is rumoured that Philips’ Lumileds Lighting is prepping millions of LED flashes for the iPhone 4G camera.

The new rumours, which we did not know about is that Apple has signed a deal with Qualcomm and that this new deal will allow Qualcomm to supply EV-DO chips. Apparently when the AT&T exclusive deal ends Verizon will not be getting the 4G iPhone but instead T-Mobile will be releasing it.

There will be multitasking on the iPhone and that there will be a new feature called “Springboard Exposé”, this means that you will be able to run multiple apps in the background. We will keep you up-to-date on all news surrounding the all new iPhone 4G 2010.

So T-Mobile, a GSM only carrier, will get an EV-DO/CDMA iPhone? New things are learnt everyday...

Im not really familier with GSM/EV-DO/CDMA but the article is from a European site. Do they have tmobile in Europe? Does it use EV-DO/CDMA?

Yes, there is T-Mobile in Europe (Germany specifically, oh and it's also GSM based), but the article mentions Verizon, so it has its basis here in the US. (ie, Verizon screwed, T-Mo gets the iPhone)...

However, that can't be. T-Mobile runs a GSM with GPRS/EDGE for 2G and 2.5G/2.75G and then on top of it, it's newer UMTS 3G with HSDPA/HSUPA for 3.5G.

EV-DO is 3G for CDMA networks, and in the States, only Verizon and Sprint do EV-DO. So if Qualcomm supplies said EV-DO chip, the iPhone won't run on T-Mobile US (or Germany). Only on CDMA, based carriers, like Sprint.
