Verizon's network is CDMA, T-Mobile is 3G, but a different frequency. The iPhone's hardware may not handle T-mobile's 1700mhz freq.

I can see setting up a vehicular iPad mount, tying in to a car charger/line-out (for stereo output) adapter, and having a removable iPod / GPS navigation device with a ridiculously huge screen, for a relatively small amount of cash. I'll be interested to see what the car-audio folks do with this. I suspect this could go over better than the Mac Mini for car audio, at least for those applications which don't require more than 60GB of music storage. One more detail. GPS is available on the +3G models, not the WiFi-only, so best make sure to buy the right one. Replying to myself…
