Carrier T-Mobile has announced a bounty of sorts for iPhone switchers. The carrier will pay up to $350 when you trade in your iPhone for a HD2 from HTC. If your turn in a working iPhone, you could get $100 credit toward the Windows Mobile handset, according to a report Thursday.
To obtain the bounty, iPhones must be in working condition and the screen intact. T-Mobile retail locations are participating through May 19.
You may remember Apple sued HTC in March, a move some analyst viewed as a “warning shot” to other handset makers. The lawsuit, which accuses HTC of violating 20 iPhone patents, is seen as Apple’s way of pushing-back against Google’s Android. Many HTC handsets are powered by Android.
