Well it has to be bought from sprint, and then unlocked. or pre-bought unlocked but it has to be a sprint phone to work on sprint..
I think at the moment the only 3 phones that sprint has that are android and world phones are Motorola Photon , Evo Design 4g and Motorola XPRT.
Photon has the following:
Worldphone - WiMAX 2500, CDMA 800/1900, WCDMA(UMTS) 850/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900
And you can roam 4g wimax as well where it is.
As for Design 4g..well for some reason HTC never includes much information on their website and not sure how accurate this 3rd party source is but:
Technology
WiMAX: 2500
CDMA: 800, 1900 MHz
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS: 2100 MHz

The Galaxy S2 is quad-band 3G, meaning it uses GSM, right? So I can't use it on CDMA networks?
|
yes, it wont work on cdma...
Galaxy s2:
HSPA+ 21Mbps/ HSUPA 5.76Mbps
EDGE/ GPRS Class 12
Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

Best case scenario is to get an unlocked world phone that has both CDMA and GSM capability, and since it's unlocked I can use it on my Sprint network, right?

yes...
