The first Windows Phone handsets picked up by Sprint did not do too well in terms of sales, but the carrier is now ready to give Microsoft's platform another shot. By some time this summer, Sprint has promised to start offering its first two WP8 smartphones – one made by Samsung and the other by HTC.

I like Nokia myself but HTC and Samsung have huge followers as well. I know people who will only buy an HTC. Why not have all 3 like Verizon.

Got an idea for Sprint, Windows Phone 8 does not need 2GB RAM i know. But for marketing purpose Sprint could slap 2GB RAM with 13 Megapixel camera.
