storm for sprint?
any one hear any rumors on the storm coming to sprint?

Honestly? Don't hold your breath. Sprint is notorious for receiving new devices incredibly late.

No, Sprint will not be receiving the Storm. They may down the road, get some sort of touchscreen but it will not be the Storm.

I can, and I cannot see Sprint getting the Storm....
Reasoning is....The Storm is already CDMA, so instead of waiting for the Curve 8900 or the Bold to have a CDMA counterpart it would be easier since the Storm is already CDMA...
My reasoning for not is, Sprint dumped alot of marketing/money into the Instinct even going as far as to call it the "iPhone killer" that being said, I'm not sure if Sprint would want to take on another touchscreen phone after the extensive push of the Instinct. -

And yeah, Sprint is gonna keep pushing the craptastic Instinct until the cows come home - 01-04-2009, 10:19 AM #10 The SIM card that comes with the phone is for international travel. Has nothing to do with the phone working here in the US. You can take it out and it will still work. Originally Posted by rootbeersoup

Proud member of the CBT - 01-04-2009, 02:00 PM #12 Sprint is more WM and Palm friendly. That is why they get all those phones first. Sprint has been known to be last when it comes to BB.

Isn't Sprint getting the CDMA Bold before VZW?
Bold OS: .162 --> .167 --> .185 --> .190 --> .194 --> .201 --> .210 --> .214 --> .215 --> .216 --> .217 -->.219 --> .234 --> .301 (Current OS) --> .WhatsNext

Atleast we know when Sprint releases phones they're uncrippled and feature loaded.
I can't wait to see the look on verizon subs faces when they see that Sprint will have an exclusive on the CDMA Bold. This is a fact
