well, sprint hasn't confirmed it yet. but the wall street journal put out an article yesterday saying they have come to some sort of agreement. launching the 1st or 2nd week of october. i work for sprint and our regional rep found the article and said 2 levels above her still know nothing yet, but its been talked about for some time. what they dont know yet is whether the carriers are going to sell the iphone 5, or if its going to be sold in apple stores. so no word on price, or where to get it, but very early october.


also, sprint's stock jumped 10% this morning just from the article released yesterday. here is the article

and The WSJ relied on anonymous “people familiar with the matter” but the wsj usually knows what they're talking about

im with you on android. honestly the samsung epic touch that's coming out 9/9 is probably going to be a better phone. the htc evo is sprint's most sold phone with over 6 million devices in just over a year, the epic touch sold of 5 million devices in the first 85 days in europe. thats rediculous.

I could see the iPhone 5 having 4G capabilities cause sprint rocks that pretty well
