Is T-Mobile about to receive an iPhone present, according to a Tweet from a Wired magazine editor, but strangely, they will receive only the iPhone 3GS, not the iPhone 4. The post, from Chris Anderson said:

A T-Mobile manager casually mentioned to me that they're going to get the iPhone 3GS (but not 4, oddly) later this year. Common knowledge?

In fact, it would not be common knowledge, but it has been rumored that the iPhone would come to T-Mobile. It would be far easier for the iPhone to be ported to another GSM network than a CDMA network such as Verizon's. However, the twist of the iPhone 3GS only is not one that anyone has spoken about before.

It's also strange that Anderson would simply tweet the info, rather than have it written up by one of his writers. As BusinessInsider said,

Even though the tweet comes from Anderson, we wonder about its accuracy. If he really put faith in what this T-Mobile manager said, why not give the tip to one of Wired's reporters to fill out the story? Why not ask them if it's common knowledge?

AT&T continues to sell last year's model as the lowest-priced iPhone, an 8GB iPhone 3GS, along with the iPhone 4. This is similar to last year, when the carrier continued to sell the iPhone 3G along with the iPhone 3GS.

While T-Mobile iPhone issues have emerged of late, it's always been the Verizon iPhone rumors that have been strongest. The latest rumors are that Verizon will see an iPhone in Q1 2011.
