hope they can root it and let custom roms on it so I can put win mo back on

By the time this device is out (I'm guessing 4Q 2010), there will be rumors/announcements of WM7 phones for Sprint. So, you might be spinning your wheels a little bit.

But the push seems to be with porting Android to WM devices, not the other way around. I wonder if anyone has been able to run WM solely off of a SD card?

I cant wait to see what this year will bring! I just hope the details for this phone's possible release comes out soon. December seems soooo far away

I think we can make the assumption that this phone will be sold out of Google's Phone website based on the name SUPER-sonic. Google says they will be selling a new class of phones called SuperPhones which set the standard and innovate new ways we use our phones. The Nexus One is the first. The Supersonic must be in that pipeline.

That. And It wouldn't make since for Sprint's first WiMax phone to be sold by someone other than Sprint. They're gonna be advertising this like crazy. Not relying on Google's internet ads.

I just hope the Supersonic has mifi capabilities. Sprint advertises the 4G is unlimited (3G has a 5GB cap for data plans). So there isn't any reason you couldn't share a connection.
