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

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.

well if we're gonna add random unsubstantiated rumors my sprint rep mentioned to me last week the first 4G phone is supposed to be Windows Mobile which could be some random LG phone but i sure hope not because LG's track record with smart phones is horrendous, i'm hoping its some awesome HTC

This might be old news, but I just found a petition floating around for Sprint to get the nexus 1..http://www.petitiononline.com/GN1oSPCS/petition.html

But if Sprint really is getting the Supersonic, why bother with the Nexus?
and besides its not just Sprint's decision to carry it, its just as up to Google (and HTC depending on how much theyre involved in distribution which appears to be not at all) and i doubt it but theres a chance Google and Verizon signed something that prevents a Sprint Version

I have seen too many rumored Sprint phones come and go. I would love the supersonic, but don't believe it till I see it. The nexus one has good specs, is coming to Verizon..CDMA, and it is my belief Google would like this phone available on all carriers. While I would prefer the rumored Supersonic, I would take the nexus one in a heartbeat over any other current Sprint offering. I'm just sick of waiting for Sprint to catch up.

they could easily market the nexus as a cheaper alternative to the supersonic but who knows.. so many rumors I will wait till I can touch before I believe anything.
