Interesting rumour about the iPhone 4 coming the T-Mobile.
iPhone Coming to T-Mobile in U.S. This Quarter? - Mac Rumors

Could that mean Wind Mobile might be able to support the iPhone 4?

That would be sweet. I'd be leading the exodus to Wind from Rogers if this happened. That $20 for 500mb data and $15 for the cheapest talk plan would be all I would even need.

iPhone 4 will likely be available unlocked from apple so even if its not directly available from Wind you should still be able to pay for one (full retail not contract reduced price) and get service with Wind.

I believe it would mean a slightly redesigned iPhone, but feel free to call me crazy. Well, not redesigned, but with a changed frequency chip. According to what I'm reading, T-Mobile/Wind uses 1700/2100, but the iPhone 4 only has support for 2100, which is new, but not 1700. This is off of my relatively uninformed understanding, however.

Can't find the article now but I do believe I read that the current iPhone 4 isn't fully compatible with T-Mobile/Wind, that it can only use an Edge network. Does Wind have an Edge network?

Wind is in the AWS band. The iPhone radio subsystem does not support that bad at this time. It's not a difficult change to make, but given the few customers that actually use the AWS band, I'm not certain there's a business case there for Apple.
