The reason they do not want to release the phone yet is because the iPhone is launching.
When you decide to launch a product you have take a look at the market demand. If the world is raving about on device, to simply introduce another device will hurt sales because the focus is on the "one device".
A better approach is to see how this device works. Identify the faults then make your device better by correcting it. Now when the fad dies out you can come out of the woodworks with your device. Faster, more features and better tweaked for public consumption. It will be your turn to shine.
Why spend millions marketing a product that will be gravely overshadowed by another.
That's like trying to present your golden egg on the public access channel during the superbowl on superbowl Sunday.
Maybe sprint hacked all the other carriers and downloaded all the statistical data that suggests that the biggest month that will contain contracts that are expiring is September. School kids will want it for school. November brings biggest sales numbers and December brings gifted contracts.
That's my take.
