Mysterious BlackBerry Slider Heading to Sprint?

Thanks to a trusted tipster over at BGR, we now have some more exciting news about the mysterious BlackBerry slider. First, the bad news is that the model has failed early diagnostic testing 4 out of 5 times. The only other 'Berry that ever failed such a test is the Pearl Flip. The tipster says that the slider he saw was branded with the Sprint name which could be the CDMA flavored 9900. The GSM/HSPA version, the 9930, will support 850/1900MHz UMTS which would suggest support for AT&T and Rogers 3G networks. As far as what the device will be called, the source said that the Bold name was nowhere near the phone. For those Sprint customers who have been feeling left out lately, perhaps this will be considered exciting news for them.
