Is the iPhone weeks away from a Sprint launch?

Throughout this weekend, a whisper started low, gradually growing louder and louder until we could not let it go by without passing it along. The speculation is that Sprint is about to launch a CDMA version of the next generation iPhone. And while certainly far from an official announcement, a Best Buy employee working at a store in Pennsylvania has sent e-mails to The Tech Update saying that Apple's touchscreen device will be offered by Sprint starting next month. According to the Best Buy employee, a shelf display for the handset is coming next week. Now, we can probably think of some very good reasons why this story sounds bogus. Sprint is on the verge of launching the most important phone in its history, so getting involved with the iPhone right now doesn't make sense. On the other hand, where there is smoke, there is fire and talk of a Sprint branded iPhone was sparking all weekend.
