Another week, another Sprint roadmap update, these leaks are getting regular as clockwork. After last week's epic list with Sprint's plans down to the beginning of October, now an updated version appeared with two new kids on the block.
It certainly seems that the LG Optimus Black, and its LCD display with 700 nits of brightness, the most on any smartphone, will be hitting Sprint's shelves, judging from the LG LS855 codename in the list.
Samsung M930
Moreover, another handset, dubbed Samsung M930, has made the cut now, coming to replace the Samsung Transform a year after its release.
Speculations are that this is the same Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset that is heading to Boost Mobile, pictured on the right, carrying a physical QWERTY keyboard. Both the LG Optimus Black and the Samsung M930 are expected to launch on October 2nd.
Have a look at both roadmaps from the last two weeks side-by-side, to see what's in and what's out.
