iPhone HD/4G coming to Sprint!?!
 
How sick would this be?

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/05/23/...one-this-year/

If this turns out to be real, I am getting an Evo + iPhone on Sprint with the quickness, although I'd be willing to bet this isn't true. I honestly don't see Sprint releasing an iPhone on the cusp of the Evo release, but I'll tell you what, if they did release a 4G iPhone I see them jumping up near verizon as far as customers go.

I assume there will be an add on charge for this also if it does make it to sprint. For the 4g of course lol. Edit: 1,000th post=VIP?

I went into the Sprint Store last week and that's what a rep told me, he was like the phone that was leaked on Gizmodo, that was the CDMA iPhone coming to Sprint later on this year.

I would say Sprint will get the gayphone but WHEN is the big question. But it would be nice to see Sprint get it because it would greatly help them, even though I am not a gayphone fan. ;]

Judging from your first ingeniously witty pun, we are able to extrapolate the fact that you do not care for the iPhone without you having to point that out overtly at the end of your post...

itd take some time for sprint.. VZW has been playing around with their iPhone since last december and looking at a rumored sept release.. so it took them almost a year for completion... none of the pics if any of VZW iPhone are real anyways..

you wont see a real sprint one for awhile either..

Apple has to change the specs and the form factor for any CDMA iPhones they may be making.. otherwise ATT will sue for breach of contract since their technically exclusive till 2012

Re: iPhone HD/4G coming to Sprint!?!
 
None of these Carriers but At&t can release an Iphone Until Apple's and at&t exclusive contract is up. So if anything we are looking at a 2012 release for any other carrier.

orangekid 05-26-2010 08:33 PM
Re: iPhone HD/4G coming to Sprint!?!
 
there are many rumors/reports that they have renegotiated the contract which will allow CDMA carriers to sell the phone right now.

I heard from a lil birdie that AT&T opted out of the contract with the iPhone due to a new contract being supplemented with the iPad...

Also that the iPhone 4G is supposed to be part of Sprints June releases... I'm skeptically as can be so I'll believe it when I see it but ehh' last time I heard a rumor it was that Sense 2.5 was officially being released for us TP2 users, and well, that came true so we'll see...

If the iPhone hits sprint, I will be back on sprint in a heartbeat with an Evo and an iPhone on a TEP.

The worst thing about the iPhone is that att won't insure it, but on CDMA it is easier to insure because you can blacklist the ESN (I know they can be flashed to other cdma carriers but still...) and on GSM you can't do that so you can just use a stolen device like it ain't no thang.

I would LOVE to rock an iPhone HD AND an evo, that would be uber pimp!

I actually think you can't get around the whole exclusive thing by just calling it the I-Phone 4G. I'm pretty sure the way those things are written is that it makes a certain device exclusive. Not all devices by a certain manufacturer and by default of it being a CDMA devices would mean the basis of the hardware would be different.

I doubt it but I would LOVE to be proven wrong.

so the gayphone still coming to Sprint?

Re: iPhone HD/4G coming to Sprint!?!
 
Highly doubt it! They'd have to venture out of gsm and into cdma radios. Plus in apples eyes, att 'says' they cover 97% of country. Jobs is thinking worlds gayest phone should be on countries largest phone provider. They could care less on the reception or internet speeds. It's just numbers.

there were also rumors that they hired the same chinese company to make 2 million cdma devices and were already working on them. putting a cdma radio into something isn't that hard.

I doubt we'll see a cdma version soon though, they would have said something at wwdc

I dont think Apple would just release the iPhone on any other carrier without having some big-assed overly extravagant event to announce it.
Apple loves to get Steve Jobs up on stage running his peter puffer about how the i(whatever) is the "Next best thing" and how "magical" it is. IF there was an iPhone coming to any other carrier they will make a big deal about it over at Apple and get their frontman to promote it.

Now this is all speculation, but check this out: So, AT&T is letting customers upgrade their accounts to the new iPhone an unheard of 6 months early. Now, what if AT&T -knowing that their contract is up- asked Apple to delay the CDMA announcement until after the GSM version launches. This coupled with AT&T's early upgrades would allow them to rope in as many customers as possible into 2 year contracts right before Apple announces that there will in fact be a CDMA version; an announcement that would likely prevent many customers from resigning contracts with AT&T. I have three friends that are with AT&T that stated if the iPhone was coming to Verizon that they would switch right away because they were sick of the poor coverage.

Just a thought...

This actually makes perfect sense.

Combine that with their new ETF of $325 and I think we have a....BINGO! Waiting until July. Radio Shack guy says wait till July.[-o<

Perhaps Radio Shack is thinking the same thing, though I would be surprised if they had definitive information; it would be a pretty big leak if this was the case and vendors were aware of this.

Question is if the iphone comes this September to only verizon...and you buy a cdma iphone from verizon and bring it to sprint...I know sprint 99.9999999% if not 100% of the time wont accept a phone they did not make..BUT I don't think they would deny iphone ppl coming to their network....

mlin 06-11-2010 09:16 PM
Re: iPhone HD/4G coming to Sprint!?!
 
At this point I would be a little surprised if Verizon was the only CDMA company to get the iPhone. With a brand new device its one thing, but the iPhone has been around for awhile. I would think Apple would want to take advantage of being available to all instead of once again being constrained by contracts with individual carriers.

Contracts can be easily revised....compensation is the easiest way...

I thought AT&T already had rights to the iPad and that was when the contract was renegotiated...

Rumors said that they got the exclusivity of the ipad in exchange for release of their 2012 iphone agreement...IDK:evil3:

Verizon and sprint just need to stay on the android wagon. Let att swell in jobs ichit and be happy. It's a proven fact android is advancing more than apple. heck even att has joined in on the android game. Off topic, but the thing I'm beginning to get irritated with is the lack of options sprint has with android phones. Verizon has like umpteen million. still does not mean I'm goin Icrap. I'll go back to pen and paper before I embark on a retard phone

I think the gayphone will come to Sprint soon and verizon and tmobile. Apple is thinking "if we let our gayphone on other networks than rather a exclusivity, we will bring in more revue and money." Just look at Android its on all networks and Android is mos def the future! ;]
