I don't know... T-Mobile probably has an exclusive because nobody else wants the Sidekick (which Danger actually calls the HipTop). The other likely reason that T-Mobile got it is that T-Mobile's parent company (Deutsch Telekom) is also an investor in Danger.

Actually the investor list for Danger is a erqlly interesting read (see http://www.danger.com/about/invest.php)...

Softbank - who just bought Vodafone's Japanese operations

Motorola - who has a crappy crappy crappy OS and UI on their handsets

Orange - which is France Telecom's mobile phone subsidiary

Given those investors I would have expected the HipTop to pop up on Orange before showing up on Cingular. I bet Duluth Resident is right - Danger had an opportunity to snag a bunch of developers that really know mobile phone and took it.
