Sprint Android by end of the year

[refused9150]

There are many rumors flying around that Sprint is getting an Android handset that will have more features as well as be much more powerful than the G1 (Dream). Giving the HTC a run for its money is an understatement given the rumored power of this device. Be sure to watch out as many key telecom providers as well as Phone manufacturers are supporting Google in the leap into the opensource OS world. If rumors are true, appears as expected, Google is going to be pumping devices out all over the place very quickly.

Wow, this is great news for Google and Android. .

Although, for Sprint, I think there is not much point in trying to rush a new phone by the end of this year. December or even November end might be too late for the holiday season and by then, T-Mobile would've cashed in on most of the holiday shopping fanfare. A better option might be to take their own sweet time and release it next year after bringing it to perfection.

Ha, speak for yourself!!!

I'll buy the Sprint version on December 29th if that's the day they release it!!

Android has been in the process of being "brought to perfection" forever it seems like. They need to release it already. Think of it this way, if you saw the London demo (which I'm sure all of us Android nuts did) the OS looked AMAZING. Much better than the old keynote video. What does Sprint really have to do? The OS is there as evidenced on the TMobile G1. The Hardware is there, inevitably on an HTC device (hopefully the Touch HD.) They just have to inject all of their useless Sprint crap that we'll all remove as soon as we get our hands on it anyway, right?

With all the new phones coming out, by the time I pick one theres another one coming out in a few weeks... Ill have to wait and see if Sprint comes up with anything.

Soon the market will be swarming with android devices.... Google's work on android is finished.. all they have to do now is to tweak it & test it, tweak it & test it... on different devices.... the ball is in manufacturer & carrier's court! although i don't expect any new androids this year. may be early next year...

Sprint is known to have not very good phones offered... therefore I do not care what Verizon, Alltell and Sprint have - but will cheer for them if they get into Android too hehehe

I can see sprint trying to put Android on a cheap "rugged" phone.
