"T-Mobile USA may finally get the iPhone next week, at least according to one analyst.\nIn a research note Thursday (via Fortune), Merrill Lynch analyst Scott Craig says \"speculation is heightening\" that T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom will announce plans to carry the device\u00A0an analyst event next week.\nWhile Verizon, AT&amp;T and Sprint all support the iPhone, T-Mobile has been left out because the carrier's HSPA networks doesn't support the iPhone. In recent months, however, T-Mobile has upgraded its networks in 15 cities to be compatible with the iPhone, though it still has many more areas that have yet to be upgraded.\nEvery few months, rumors pop up saying that T-Mobile will get the iPhone, but each seems to be wishful thinking.\nIn 2010, noted Apple analyst Shaw Wu said that T-Mobile might become the second U.S carrier to offer the iPhone, ending AT&amp;T's years of exclusivity on the device. Instead, Verizon became the second carrier \u2014 but not until 2011.\u00A0Later that year, rumors surfaced that T-Mobile and Sprint would both offer the iPhone. Needless to say, only one of those two companies got it.\nIn recent months, there have been several rumors from analysts at\u00A0Morgan Stanley, Sanford C. Bernstein and others\u00A0that T-Mobile would get the iPhone by 2013.\nThere's little doubt that T-Mobile wants to offer the iPhone, but it's unclear whether the carrier's networks will be ready to handle the device in the near future.\nDo you think the latest rumor is true? Let us know in the comments.\nImage courtesy of Flickr, mauritsonline."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
