Sprint android based phone Q1 09?

[intel8052]

Hey y'all, new to the site (well I read around a bit over the past months and finally getting posting)

But I just got back from the sprint store where I had to get my contacts transfered from my old phone to my Titan again (computer crashed 2 days ago and lost all my outlook contacts on PC, phone crashed this morning before I got outlook set up again on PC.. go figure its just my luck).

Anyway, I decided to ask the tech/sales person at the store if there were any new Windows Mobile phones coming out in Q1 09. I read that people had contacted HTC or talked to a rep and got some info on the possibility of new phones coming out, so I thought I would give it a shot...

She didn't have any information on WM phones, but she mentioned that she had heard about an Android based phone being released sometime mid to late January.. She didnt seem to know much about technical sides of phones (she said it was called the android, aka didnt realize "android" was the OS until I told her).

Has anyone else heard anything about an Android based phone being released to sprint in early 2009? I hadn't read anything about it anywhere so it was kinda a suprise to me. She might have simply been wrong... figured it was worth asking here anyway.
