Upcoming 4th Quarter Sprint Phones Leaked

Phonenews.com has some new(ish) information concerning Sprint’s Q4 selection of telecommunication devices, thanks to some recent internal document leakage.
From left to right, the LG Rumor will have a slide out QWERTY keyboard, up to 4GB of storage, and Bluetooth, but will not be capable of over-the-air music downloads. It’s basically gonna be a device for people who like sending text messages all…the…time.
The Palm Centro might appeal to some people. Not me, though. I’m still pretty mad at Palm about the whole Foleo thing. It’s my duty as a “journalist” to tell you that it’ll have Sprint TV/Music Store features, e-mail, a new Sprint IM client, a decent media player, QWERTY keyboard, and a camera.
The HTC Touch looks like a big stick of butter, and I mean that in a good way. WinMo 6, EVDO Rev. A, and a 2-megapixel camera are some of the features. No keyboard, though.
Finally, there’s the BlackBerry Pearl 8130. It’ll have GPS, stereo Bluetooth, media and messaging features, camera, and it’ll of course have the requisite SureType keyboard.
That is all.

Yeah, I think the LG looks a little cheap (it’ll probably be free with contract, though), everyone has seen the BlackBerry before, the Centro is gonna be split down the middle - either you love it or hate it, and I’m not sure how I feel about the Touch yet.

Touch is ok, IMO. If it wasn’t running WinMo I’d like it a lot more.

It’s both, Spud. ;o)
I use Sprint (because I get a 30% discount through work), but they never seem to have a phone I *really* want–one with a nice big screen, wifi, bluetooth, a 2+MP camera, a decent battery life, and expandable storage, for less than $250. Does this phone exist in the US?

I don’t care about an iPhone….. It looks pretty, plays music and makes calls…. I need a phone that can edit documents, email large attachments, keep me organized, and maybe help me occasionally find my way, all on a high speed network.
The iPhone’s like the Cheerleader I dated in HS, Beautiful face to take out at night…. but she couldn’t really help when the situation called for more than a wink and a smile….

Sounds like you want an HTC Mogul. if you look hard enough, you can find one under 250, has a qwerty keyboard for editing documents and can view pdfs, works with outlook exchange servers, and is all around badass.
now that i’ve convinced you, i have to convince my company to buy me one for work.

They need to come out with something better than that iphone or the AT&T Tilt phone(which isn’t all THAT great).

I dont know why everyone is complaining about the phones, the best stuff is over seas anyway so until we get those phones here and make them capable on sprints network your still gonna say they suck. Sprint was offered the iphone but declined it because apple wanted to keep all their music contect proceeds and sprint said “thanks but no thanks” and plus the iphone is a clone to the parada phone which is in europe “over seas”

We finally left Sprint after 7+ years….8 phones in total. Just one reason, their phone selection is very very poor!

Not counting any of the Nextel phones, Could someone explain to me why Sprint needs 13 different flip-phones? 11 PDA styles, and the only 2 non-flip non-PDA phones have received horrible write-ups (Rumor & Upstage). They have no other phones to choose from like AT&T’s Samsung a737 or a727. I’m looking for a simple phone that isn’t the size of a brick for voice and texting with no moving parts (I’ve had 3 separate types of flip phones literally fall apart in my hands), a camera, gps and bluetooth for under $150 without any other extras like music. Forget Sprint! My 2 year contract is up, and the supposed $150 credit which Sprint advertises is NOT in addition to any other discounts-it’s INSTEAD of any other discounts, i.e. if I want a BB Pearl, I get a whopping $150 off the retail price of $500! I can get a better deal than that by pretending to be a NEW customer! Smell ya later Sprint! >:-(
