Apple iPhone 5 now available for pre-order via T-Mobile T-Mobile has begun taking pre-orders for the iPhone today, making it the last major carrier in the U.S. to do so. The phone goes on sale April 12th.
The carrier will offer the iPhone 4, 4S and 5, and the iPhone 5 will be compatible with the company's 3G, 4G HSPA+ and LTE networks.

Thanks to the company's new "Uncarrier" plans, the iPhone 5 will sell with two options. You can purchase the device at full price at time of purchase, or purchase it for $99 upfront and pay out $20 a month for 24 months, for a total of $579 over two years.

If you want an iPhone 4 or 4S, the installment plan cost is just $15 or $70 down with a $15 or $20 monthly charge, respectively.

T-Mobile also notes that the iPhone 5 will support "HD Voice," which the company defines as high definition voice calling with background noise reduction.

I would hate to work inside T-Mobile they are killing their employees commission with their crazy pricing structure. You'd be better off going to Wal-Mart or some other retail store to get a new phone.
