Nah... nothing like that. Notice the timing of the device coming out just a couple weeks before the new iPhone. The whole cell market is a race... and they pushed this phone out to beat the new iPhone. That's why the SDK wasn't ready, the phone is video capable, but it won't be in place until there is an update for it... etc.

They gain nothing by not having these features ready at launch, except bad exposure... but Sprint gains everything by pushing a hot new phone out before the new iPhone... specifically, warm bodies in contracts.
