I am not sure on the lg one but with Verizon and T-mobile launching the Desire z been a little rumor going around sprint that sprint may launch one as well. My boss says theirs a lg and an HTC coming (and made sure to say the legend isnt the one he was thinking of but thats coming later to) so who knows. I am training on wp7 now and not android so I wont be good at information about that

There was a Rumor of an LG Prada 3 and HTC Hero 2..you mean those 2?

Also I think the LG phone should be a wimax phone...at least sprint promised one early in the year if they have not changed but then it will most likely be in November.

2 things I noticed:

1) That doesn't look like TouchWiz...

2) 4 row keyboard = fail...sigh...can't manufacturers ever learn?

Was at the Sprint Store today and overheard a conversation between a couple of the employees. One asked if it was time to put out the Transform, and the other said "no, we have to hold it till next week". I then asked them for some specs and they told me that it was no epic 4g. All I got out of them for sure was that it has a 3.7" screen. I stopped caring after i heard that, so i didn't ask any more questions.

You could have asked other things like does it use Super Amoled, Amoled, LCD or SLCD >.>

I could have, but I lost interest when I found out it didn't have a 4" screen. The crappy thing is that I went to that Sprint store 2 days ago and specifically asked about the Transform, and they swore up and down to me that there is no way a new phone was coming out in the next 10 days, because they would already be getting trained on it, etc, etc, etc. I have learned that its pretty universal that Sprint sales reps at their stores are uninformed and love to lie about things instead of just admitting they don't know. Asked 4 different reps at 2 different stores today why my screen on the Epic has a blue tint, and I got answers ranging from "Have you been around any large magnets recently?" to "Oh, its blue because it has the auto-brightness thing". Was RAGING by the time I got home.
