Neat..... had no idea Sprint was using Android

/sarcasm.

Just a little bit of smart ***'ism for ya

It really is good news. Competition and Choice for Smart Phone users. Hopefully this breeds ton of innovation.

Yes, there is an Android Market available via the phone which has free and pay applications. I understand it has quite a bit of applications available.

I am waiting to see what Verizon comes up with in regards to Android phones. I think I am going to switch to it once they release one. I am hoping it is the HTC Hero.

Yes it has ALOT of free apps, and even alot of the pay apps have free "lite" versions too. The only app i've paid for so far is the Bloo facebook app. It KILLS the winmo app and the iphone app as well I think.
