Is the iPhone weeks away from a Sprint launch?

I with ya...how a BB emplyee "can confirm" this before anyone else does not add up. If he said it's a VZW iPhone it would be much more believable.

I am not saying "it is so", but I did mention this back when the iphone was stated as 4g. It only makes sense that a 4g phone would go to a 4g network. And, given the state of Sprint, apple would be able to get wa more from them than they could from verizon; Sprint would be easier to manipulate. I still will not own an Iphone due to their lack of multitasking. I know it is suppose to have multitasking, but compared to the pain-in-the-ass-to-learn windows platform, it should not be called mutitasking.

I don't think it's going to happen, but Hello-dirt is on to something. If Apple was truely trying to battle the EVO, then why not put it on the same network.

Why would it be more believable if it was about VZW?

You Are So Right now if this were true I expect T-mobile verizon to get a piece of the pie too .

while the store is definitely bullshit, you do realize it isnt coming from phonearena right? thats why they have that little source link at the end. dumbass...

I usually call bad reporting on PA, but I think this is good reporting. Had they passed up this article they would have people bitching because another news agency reported it.

hey dick-wad Anderson... yes there is a link at the end of it, but i-phonearena posted it on their own website, not the people who created the original link, you fucking twat. Every i-phonearena story has a source link to it, because they let other web sites do real reporting, and than they tap off of it. You dumb knob. Stfu and go back to bed.

seriously? you're going to get all butt hurt over someone correcting you? on the internet? what are you, 11?

scott, you also do realize there are more android announcements than there are iPhone ones currently?the whole website is flooded with android posts, when we occasionally, compared to android, see an iPhone post of some information that comes across. Also, learn to use twat in the right context. You really do sound like a dumbass. When challenged against your post, you, someone made into looking like a twat, calling someone else a twat clearly shows you don't understand how to use the word or even the meaning and instead sound like an 11 year old (source: easytochris) trying to throw words out of his mouth after being heard on television. Please, grow up.

actually, it would make sense for it to go on sprint to expand their front-facing camera phone base so they can promote video calling, something that is LONG LONG overdue in the US. From what I know, the EVO will be the first phone in the US to have 2 cameras, and for the moment it will be the only one, so who will you be able to make a video call to unless you know they have an Evo too? The iphone4 would be able to pick up on all the other apple fanatics and techies that have been wait for such a feature but didnt want an android phone. That's what makes sense to me at least, it's sorta illogical to be trickling out phones with such a feature that only America is so far behind on 1 phone per carrier at a time.

I might add too, that Sprint has been talking about acquiring the iPhone and it wouldn't surprise me if they kept it hush hush based on how much they're advertising the EVO. The thing is that we all know how many rumors there are about the iphone and it going to other carriers blah blah blah.

Very possible, some people are Apple fan boys.

37. easytochris posted on 24 May 2010, 13:40 0

i doubt it would have been announced at ces. Apple/Steve Jobs have been very consistent in announcing things at WWDC and Apple created announcements. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple waited until a few days after the launch of the EVO to say "we're dropping the next generation of iphone on sprint" because there are enough people that will wait to upgrade their phone to see what Jobs has to say to see if it's worth their time.

Actually, LEAP wireless is getting the iBONE on 7/4/10

if said phone was a 4g phone, engadget already approved that Sprints Evo supports both chat and web at the same time... i still think its a bogus report, but you also have bogus info

The problem with the android handsets that come to AT&T is that they get crippled by not allowing non-market apps installed, and preinstalled bloatware that you cant remove. AT&T has done all of this to please Apple so they keep their contract. I would like to see the iphone go to another carrier because maybe at&t would stop feeling the need to cripple their android phones and maybe they will get a few good ones.

sorry guess i didn't make my point clear steve jobs may be buying sprint then he would have his own cell phone company to do it his way. how many at&t customers would walk from AT&T if sprint and iphone was owned by steve jobs?
