Way to crush my hopes and dreams! Not sure where I got WinMo from, I guess I just wish that it was Windows Mobile so much that I thought it was.

I think what happened is I'm confusing the Super Sonic with the Scorpion. Super Sonic being the HD2 Android clone and the Scorpion being a 1.5GHz Android, both having 3.0 and WiMax. Confused by the similarities.

Still not sure where I got WinMo from, but until then I'll just keep dreaming. :)

Actually SERO may be possible..

here is why:

The reason you cannot activate an android phone on SERO is because it does not allow the ESN to activate in Sprint's system. BUT The one who does the activation is not sprint but Google...so there is a possibility that it will slide.

Not saying that this is the case, but it gives hope for this possibility rather then 100% defeat.

What makes you say you would activate it using Google? Wouldn't you just activate it like any other Sprint phone, via Sprint's website. We don't really have a precedent for this, but I don't see why it would be any different.

I hope you're right though

. Not that I even have SERO, but I don't have an everything plan and want to keep it that way.

If it is like T-mobile they are completely staying out of it.

Even the Activate your phone is on their portal page. Google even provides the tech support...

As I said this does not mean much but it gives a glimmer of hope where there were none before.

No keyboard on the Supersonic or Nexus One... I couldn't give up the awesome keyboard on the TP2. Any phone without a keyboard is a dumbphone in my book.

android 2.1 eclair, snapdragon, 5mp cam w/ flash, direct youtube upload = gangster

Not so sure about the nexus one...have to have it in hand to know...but if Supersonic is a reality (coming to Sprint) then its hands down Supersonic for me.

I love the TP2 keyboard...but with the screen real estate of the supersonic, I think I can deal with the complete switch from hardkeys to on screen.

Either way...winphone7 turns me off more and more each day with more leaks. I'm more and more ready to make the jump to android.

I actually receive my Moment today, so I will probably be going TP2>Moment>Nexus One>Supersonic. That is if the Nexus One is released this month or April and the Supersonic in summer and my corporate discount applies to the Nexus One. Hell I might even stay with the Nexus One if I find the HD2 too big later this month

Yeah, I can't wait till later this month where I can hold an HD2 in my hands (and pocket) and see just how big it is, and how usable the SIP is. I'm sure most of us haven't had the chance to hold one yet. That will make my Supersonic decisions a lot easier. Some release dates wouldn't hurt either...
