Sprint EOL list revealed

Sprint customers, have you found yourself wondering what Hesse & Co. have in store for you this year beyond the illustrious Palm Pre? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. While we can’t post the list itself, one of our ninjas came through with a tasty internal document that may shed some light on things for you. It doesn’t cover all of the handsets Sprint has in store for 2009 but it does shed some light on a few handsets we’re all eagerly awaiting. Note that this is an End of Life (EOL) list so the replacement devices may add an element of confusion. Some of the handsets listed below are already released, such as the Motorola i365 and the Samsung M220, yet they are listed next to dates in the future. This simply means that these handsets will fill any gaps left by the corresponding EOL device. As for the handsets on the list that are not yet released, the EOL dates represent the target death of the EOL handset (in the warehouse, existing store inventory will still be sold) and the target in stock-date at Sprint’s warehouses for its replacement. In other words, these replacement devices are projected to be in stock by the dates specified so a release on or around said date is most definitely a safe bet. A duo of tasty examples: The document confirms the Treo Pro launch date of February 15 and sets the Palm Pre launch on or around March 15. So without further ado, hit the jump and soak up all that Sprint handset goodness we’ve extracted from the EOL document for you.

Usually replacement devices are out before something is actually end of life. Are we going to see the diamond replacemet before summer.

So if the Pre is the replacement by March 15th, I wonder if that lends any credibility to the rumors of a Pre release in Feb? Perhaps they will announce it at GSMA which runs Feburary 16-19th.

Sprint Diamond Eol?
 
According to a post on Boygeniusreport.com today, the touch diamond will be going end of life in July. Weird.

I am saying when something is EOL it usually has its replacement out. The pre is replacing the 755p and the 755p i showing EOL in may so that would make March a safe bet. Also the Treo Pro is listed as 2-15 on that list so I would just assume March on the Pre.

No its not. You'll laugh when you see the new wave of updated devices on the horizon.
The Pro may reach EOL near then as well.

so is the Pre a replacement for the Diamond? that would be pretty weak...

zero157h7 07-15-2009 11:07 PM
Re: Sprint EOL list revealed
 
Some still think the Diamond is coming, but if not I think the Hero would be its replacement, with the Pre replacing 755p.
