ARTICLE: Sprint details their smartphone path for 2010



While some of it has been reported via leaks and the like over the past few months, Sprint's David Owens sat down to discuss the carrier's upcoming strategy in regards to smartphone development. It's evident that the company has quite a bit planned in regards to Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile devices.

Here's a few of the smartphone tricks that they have up their sleeve:

  • Google Android OS updates are coming for the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment. While he didn't specify a version, HTC has confirmed (via Twitter) that they're working on an Android 2.0 update for the Hero.
  • Combination CDMA/GSM Android phones are also "a possibility but nothing this year."
  • They're considering an Android phone with a built-in MiFi-type router.
  • Android phones will get less expensive "as we see volume across the industry."
  • Lots of HTC and BlackBerry devices coming next year, with more HTC devices "on the Android platform."
  • Sprint will offer Wi-Fi on the BlackBerry Tour next year and will have other Wi-Fi BlackBerries going forward.
  • They're testing Windows Mobile 6.5 updates for the HTC Touch Pro2 and other Windows phones, with planneddistribution in "early 2010."
  • Windows Mobile 7.0 to arrive "as soon as possible, but dependent on Microsoft."
  • WiMAX phones arriving next year.
  • Everything plans no longer offer tethering.


At any rate, 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for the nation's third largest carrier.

they don't have a chocie to keep up unless they wanna sink deeper into what they are already in. if they don't they will suffer a big loss in a short period of time.

hahah for sure especially sicne they are dropping now... i know i would rather have a company like verizon making my product exclusive with because of having more subscribers than sprint does.... so that has to make it a little tougher for them

Sprint should really be trying to get the HTC HD2. That could be the hottest phone of 2010. It wont be if only T-Mobile has it..
