also, if i'm not mistaken it's supposed to be sprint, lg, and microsoft making this press release (i could be wrong) and the only reason i forsee microsoft involved would either be a winmo 6.5 device (likely) or winmo 7 (hopefully). sprint hasn't completely disappointed me so far and i can only hope that the suspense that they have built up in all of us ends up being worth it. i'm still not an LG fan but if that is what the release is all about, i'm sure there will be HTC devices to soon follow.
then again, the three companies may not have a major joint release... this could just be lg saying that they just have a lotus 2, that sprint's wimax network will be done in 2010, and that sprint will release winmo 6.5 for the tp2 by 3rd quarter 2010.

With that being said, how can you really talk about relaseing WM7 if you still didnt release WM6.5? You shouldnt be proud of that, to me thats a half A** Job right. All Im sayin is that compared to what the other carriers are getting or alrady have Sprint got the short end of the stick and on top of that the only thing known to look forward to is and LG Wimax phone that you prolly cant even travel with and get consistence wimax service. Since when did you hear people talkin about thats new LG phone.... Think about it, I'll wait.... never.
