Whats coming from Sprint?

[snowplow54]

It looks like sprint might not even be getting the Supersonic, according to some a leaked screenshot it seems T-mobile will be getting it. Its a shame I don't get any 3G coverage from T-mobile, because i'm very tempted to switch. Especially if Sprint doesn't get any high end phones.

I know this quote is dated at this point but wanted to mention this in case anyone else comes across this thread like I did.
1. The article your link points to doesn't really make sense because Tmobile is planning on LTE not WiMax so it wouldn't make sense for there to be a screen shot of the Supersonic on Tmobile and the end of the very article you're referencing mentions the likelihood of photoshop.
2. Tmobile has announced they will be the first to have the HD2 (http://www.sticktogether.com/htchd2/...c_innovate_hd2) which is admittedly the WinMo version of the same phone without 4G, so it might make sense that there are some names/specs getting mixed up
3. Even if Tmobile did get something Supersonic-esc, there is no reason why Sprint can't get an identical/similar phone of a different name, i.e. Sprint Hero and Verizon Droid Eris

Luckily sprint has me in their corner...with that said i feel i should point out that almost all carriers have the same phones. take a look at the hero on sprint the aeris on verizon and the my touch on tmobile...the are all essentially the same phone on the inside. the main difference is the quality of the outside (body panels/button placement/design) the palm pre and pre + pixi and pixi + what is the difference? tp2 is on sprint uscc and tmobile. we are all basically in the same place as far as hardware is concerned. just expect big things from sprint in the near future starting with 4g and never stopping. we are about to take the race. this underdog will sneak up on u and steal the number one spot while all the top dogs are busy talking trash to each other and spending their money making commercials to bash the competition. not only are we the now network we r the future network and the bang for ur buck network!

funny thing is, you mention the other carriers fighting and bashing on each other, notice how no one ever says anything about sprint's phones, networks, services, or plans? Its just funny they're constantly ragging each other and everyone leaves sprint alone

[sprintgirl]

that is exactly my point. they r providing the perfect opportunity for us to fly in under the radar. and if u notice we dont advertise as much just think wat we mite b doing with all that extra money?! probably spending it in ways that benefit our top priority...our customers. enhancing our coverage by building towers, upgrading to 4g and more. just wait u will b pleasantly surprised. and by the time u r stuck in a contract w verizon and looking at a $400 ETF is the day u will wish u never left.

with almost everything going for this phone, its still lacking wimax and by then wimax will be more broadly available. this phone almost had everything. with hspa+ launching on tmobile and tmobile already having hspa+ devices available, i cant buy another phone thats not 4g, epecially that late in the year.

p-slim, I am wondering.....is sprint going to have a different charge for using 4g even if the phone can get 3g(ev)/4g. Like right now we get 3g with no extra charge if you have a data plan, but lets say I buy a phone with 4g access...now will I be able to get 4g where I can with no extra charge.....I or do we need to have sprint give me the 4g access on the network which would be a charge while using 3g would still be free....do you understand?

Thats a good question, i would imagine that since wimax is still being rolled out, that it would be included in the simply everything plan. although, if they did charge extra for a 4g phone/plan, then maybe only the markets with wimax will be able to buy these phones.

I have no clue if there will be a different price plan but I hightly doubt it. Think of it like this air cards are already out that can do wimax and they are the same monthly price as the evdo rev a aircards.
