T-Mobile USA to launch iPhone in late 2010, early 2011?

According to comments made by René Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile USA parent company Deutsche Telekom, the fourth-largest U.S. carrier may start offering the iPhone as soon as later this year. The Financial Times reports that Obermann told the publication T-Mobile USA hopes to start selling the iPhone later this year or next year, but in the meantime will focus on Android-powered smartphones. T-Mobile was the first U.S. carrier to offer an Android-powered phone, the HTC G1, and has since expanded its Android lineup with several other models, including the Google-branded, HTC-built Nexus One.

Unless Apple re-jiggers the iPhone to use 1700/2100 Mhz it won’t be able to use TM’s HSPA and will only be able to use GPRS and EDGE.
