Actually The only thing this has over the hero is the 4g chipset, sooooooo more like 500 off contract 249.99 on contract worse case scenario.

I am thinking atleast $300 - $400. Remember Sprint only has one price for new and renewals. This not going to be an affordable phone.

+snapdragon, more ram/rom, higher screen res, dual led flash. But your price point should is still accurate. Look at the nexus one, $179 w/ contract. No higher than $199 after rebate, which btw was the Droid pricepoint upon release.

Actually, the only thing(s) it has over the hero are 4.3 capacitive screen and a 1Ghz processor. In which I will agree with rwolf1984 in saying this phone will not be cheap. I say $300-$350 w/2yr. contract and $600-$650 off contract.

RWOLF, NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY BC YOU'RE A P.O.S. any time you say anything on this website it's GARBAGE. Grow up. Get a life. Get the AT&T wang out of your mouth. Why do you have to go off on a company that's making technological advancements anyways? Does it offend you that we're not still using rotary phones??? Get real.

Get the Sprint wang out of your ass. You need to get real. You need to read up on Sprint and NOT the Sprint Good News blog read real financial stories. Sprint is hardly making technological advancements. They are making financial regression. Dan Hesse and ignorant Sprint fan boys can brag about this 2010 year of 4G BS. Sprint/Clearwire 4G development is behind, badly there was just an article on this. Why are they behind? NO MONEY They are the service no one wants. They can buy some pre-paid customers, but those people aren't going to sign contracts and buy Sprint's crap over priced phones. Sprint has the worst handsets and the worst pricing on them. Verizon and AT&T are the real wireless carriers in the country. They are financially sound and profitable. Verizon will have 4G by the end of the year. AT&T is upgrading to 3.5G and will launch 4G shortly after Verizon. They have the best coverage, the lowest churn rates and the best handsets (T-Mobile also has better handsets then Sprint). Speaking of handsets Sprint always gets picked last and the customers get screwed out of prompt software updates, why? because it is Sprint's nature to suck!!! So JBROOTS keep sucking on that Sprint!!

And if rwolf is totally ignorant to wimax services: "Thought WiMAX was just beaming high-speed internets to a very few lucky technosapiens in far-away lands? Think again! If all goes according to plan, more than 800 million people from the future will be wrapped in its soothing vibrations by the end of this year, and over a billion worldwide in 2011, surpassing expectations. That's an impressive spread given that Sprint just got things rolling domestically in Baltimore about a year and a half ago. Next up will be stops in New York City and San Francisco..." - engadget Comcast, google, and other companies besides Sprint are in on Clearwire...Sprint just holds a majority of their shares. So continue to ramble ignorantly about Sprint not being able to fund WiMax. They're also trying to stick wimax towers on every Walmart in America according to engadget. Sounds like a good plan, but you'll just post an ignorant/garbage reply about Sprint. Moron.

JBROOTS, you are retarded. Finances are required to operate a business. Sprint operates at a $2 Billion deficit annually. That's why Sprint couldnt help the Haitians right away, they had to make sure they could pay their electric bill. It takes cash money and the ability to borrow money for Sprint to do what they need to do. With Sprint's continued losses their credit rating is in the gutter and is consitantly lowered by Moody's. You obviously do not look at the whole picture. Companies like T-Mobile put up fake trees that are actually towers. I read and commented on that article regarding Sprint and Walmart. The "People of Walmart dot Com" like JBROOTS will be to call, text, surf and be able to get their embarrassing and humiliating pictures uploaded to the site. 800 million people? WiMax is not even close to reaching 800 million people. Try 508 by the end of 2010. 120 in the USA by the end of 2010. I read this too, did you?http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/WiMAXs-worldwide-growth-is-expanding-rapidly-while-North-America -plays-catch-up-article-a_9671.html There isn't a fight between WiMax and LTE. Both will be used worldwide. You are ignorant. Maybe you know how to operate a computer and a couple features on some smartphones, but there is much more to the business than the hardware. Jim Cramer from CNBC loves Verizon's stock, its a great buy. He has Verizon by the way. Sprint will not be able to recover. That's cool that Sprint's bringing WiMax, but Sprint isnt a good company. You can't operate a business at a 2 billion deficit. (JBROOTS, aka Typical Obama-voter, look up deficit spending. You can't grow an economy or a business on debt) The rebranding has failed. Sprints chrun rate is off the charts. How can you deny that Sprint is in trouble? Just launching a new network isnt the answer. Sprints approach is wrong. Verizon and AT&T are the top 2 carriers in the USA and not Sprint. AT&T isnt a top carrier just because they have they iPhone. Cingular and AT&T merged. Sprint = Garbage. Now there is plenty of room for you on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or Net10/Tracfone cuz your credit is wack like the typical Sprint customer!!!

you crack me up buddy! obama-voter??!! cut me some slack. listen, i couldnt care less what carrier you drool over. I like technology as much as the next guy. It just takes one big D bag to get all bent over A PHONE ARTICLE. You make it sound like you had an inappropriate encounter with Sprint as a kid... something burning in the back of your mind causing you all this anger. hope you get some healing. im done with your tantrum buddy.

Every comment or comeback turns into something perverse or homo-erotic. I think you're the one that had the inappropriate encounter in the back of the Sprint store. When the next article comes out u'll request that i suck on a hairy fat one again. What is with you picturing me in your head with men? The best part was when you attempted to play it slick like me and quote articles and numbers. John Mayer has a word for you!

@rworlf1984 "Completely retarded and pre-mature...typical Dan Hesse behavior (his wife and gay lover will second that)." Way to personally attack Dan Hesse and his wife. Whatever you think about his time at Sprint, the personal attack was simply uncalled for. "You can't operate a business at a 2 billion deficit. (JBROOTS, aka Typical Obama-voter, look up deficit spending. You can't grow an economy or a business on debt)" I'm pretty sure George W. Bush was deficit spending as much if not more so than Obama. War (especially on multiple fronts) is an expensive proposition. Don't blame Obama for deficit spending when he had to clean up a mess he inherited. There was major spending when FDR had to pull the country out of the Great Depression and that turned out pretty well wouldn't you say?

youre not slick. i picture you fat and bald, playing world of warcraft in your mom's basement... but i really dont care for you or about anything you do. all you do on this site is write bull 5hit about a carrier that you don't have any perspective on. i probably wouldnt care if it weren't for you posting all your garbage after they came out with the article about sprint backdating free calls to haiti... but there's nothing i can do about that. no one can make you stop posting your b.s. and no one can make you grow up. its a shame.
