Who knows if after that article was written if sprint or any other carrier for that matter approached HTC about the HD2? We don't know. All we have are rumors at this point more of which are suggesting t-mobile. Which was the same last year when early leaks of the TP2 came out.

Please carefully re-read my post above. I said that T-Mo was the first telco to get the TP2 followed by Sprint NOT the opposite. I don't want to get into a back and forth argument about what we both acknowledge to be pure speculation. At this point all I know is what I have read and so do you. HTC per reports has said that the HD2 is coming to a US carrier (you can read that on several of the top websites for smart phones). This is what led to the speculations of who will get it. T-Mo was the carrier most speculated would get it. When word came out that Peter Chou said Sprint had not approached him, that led to further speculation that Sprint was not going to carry the HD2. The thread I pointed to basically says what this whole thread on PPCGeeks has been saying. No one knows which carrier the HD2 will go to. If history repeats itself, the HD2 (like the HD1) will go to no US telco. At this point anything you say and I say are pure speculation. I am just reciting what I have read on "trusted" sites like Engadget and PPCGeeks amongst others. They have been known to get things wrong. However in the long run neither you or I are in possession of any specifics regarding the HD2. We will just have to wait and see who if anyone carries the phone. At this point I don't care if Sprint carries the device because if they don't provide me with a reasonable WinMo upgrade path from my TD, I will simply switch carriers (Verizon has the Imagio and AT&T has the Pure. Both devices are what I am looking for). It would be great if Sprint got the HD2 but I would settle for the TD2 (which supposedly Sprint insiders have said was coming...it's 2 months+ since the TP2 was released online and only now I can go into a Sprint store and buy one. Who knows when or if the TD2 will ever be released). I know not to fully trust any rumors and I am not holding out for Sprint to release a TD2 or HD2. When my wife's contract is up with Sprint like mine is now, I will evaluate the choices available to us and go with the carrier that has the phone(s) which meets our needs. If Sprint has what we need, I will stay with them else go elsewhere. I buy based on what's available and not what may be. This is not a contest of whose speculations are right or wrong since we both agree that they are just that (speculations).

We didn't have concrete information that sprint was getting it but it only made sense that they would. And low and behold all of the carriers got the TP2. The point of my other post was not to say you were wrong but to suggest that it's to early for you to just rule sprint out.

Take a look at the following article "Sprint Touch Pro2 Spotted and Dated". Look carefully at the date of the article and the posts. These were made long before Sprint released the TP2. It usually doesn't get more concrete than actual photographs of a cell phone bearing the carrier's logo. Note the posted "release date" of mid-June. Clearly this was off by a few months but the picture of the phone based on what we know now was correct.

Edit: and you obviously didn't read that link you posted because they are basically saying the same thing i have.

I read it. The point of the link was to reference the quote by Peter Chou not debate its merits. Assuming the quote is true and taking Mr. Chou at his word (and barring evidence to the contrary), the logical conclusion is that at the time the quote was made Sprint was not planning on carrying the HD2. I agree nothing is etched in stone but with so little inside information leaked about the HD2 US destination(s), you have to go with what was said by Mr. Chou. Sprint is neither confirming nor denying this statement. Until Mr. Chou retracts his statement or Sprint makes an announcement, his statement regarding the HD2 stands as the only insider information regarding the HD2 and Sprint.
