Hopes and dreams = shot. We've had a sneaky suspicion all along that T-Mobile would likely be the [only major network](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/23/iphone-5-coming-to-sprint-other-carriers-in-mid-october/) not playing host to an iPhone 5 launch party this year, but we still kept our heads high because no official denial had been given from the company's C-level. That's now changed, since T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman slammed us back into reality at a town hall meeting stating: "we are not going to get the iPhone 5 this year." It's a hard pill to swallow in such a short summation, but there might be a glimmer of hope -- technically Brodman only referenced one specific *name*. Since there's always a possibility that Apple will choose a different title for its [fifth-gen device](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/07/iphone-5-4s-the-rumor-roundup/) (or even add a [lower-priced option](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/17/did-a-white-iphone-4s-just-pop-up-in-atandts-inventory-system/)), T-Mobile fans can still grasp onto one last Hail Mary of a chance; just don't set yourself up for more disappointment, okay?
