I think you mean Verizon, both ATAT and T-mobile operate via GSM

 

Yea but WIND operates at the same broadcast spectrum as T-mobile. So if they build a phone for the spectrum that T-mobile operates on, WIND users are in luck. GSM/CDMA has nothing to do with the MHz the phone operates on.

More info out:

 

Various reports are indicating that Gizmodo paid $5,000 (plus a bonus for traffic) or $10,000 for the next-generation iPhone previewed on Monday, depending on the source. Gawker Media founder Nick Denton clarified the pricetag last night here on Twitter, saying that the company paid the lower fee and that "we'll do anything for a story." Either way, Gizmodo racked in over 15 million page views by the end of the day, and may have damaged its relationship with Apple in the process.

 

The device came into Gizmodo's possession thanks to Apple Software Engineer Gray Powell. On March 18, 2010, Powell celebrated his 27th birthday at the Gourmet Haus Straudt in Redwood City, California. Overdosed on good German beer, he left the device behind, concealed in a special iPhone 3GS case. Someone discovered the device, contacted Gizmodo after supposed failed attempts with Apple, and the rest is history.

 

Now Apple is contacting Gizmodo via phone calls and this letter from Apple Senior Vice President & General Counsel Bruce Sewell, demanding that Gizmodo editorial director Brian Lam make arrangements for the device to be returned. Under California law, Apple has the right to reclaim the device up to three years--the person who found Apple's property "has the duty to report it." With that said, Apple has now blown any chances of denying that the device previewed on Gizmodo was not the real deal.

 

There's also a question as to the device's current stature: is it lost or stolen? Gizmodo's lengthy explanation of how it came into possession of the iPhone 4G paints a "oh look what this guy found" scenario. Daring Fireball's John Gruber reports a different view on the scenario, claiming that Apple considers the unit stolen, not lost. Could it be that the party responsible for selling the device to Gizmodo may have actually swiped it from Powell? Maybe Powell himself stole the device from Apple and received partial payment from the mystery seller?

 

Something doesn't seem right, and we're betting we'll see more from Apple's legal department within the next few days.
