Sprint's Q4 Lineup: Not Bad!
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 03:02 PM
"What started as a trickle of unofficially official shots from Sprint's Q4 pipeline has suddenly become a deluge. Check the LG Rumor, Touch (aka, Vogue), and Blackberry Pearl 8130 (above) all dressed up with Sprint logos and sales-goon positioning points for a Q4 launch. We already saw Palm's Centro, OQO Model 02, LG Rumor and Touch yucking it up in the wild this morning but this is the first time we've seen the 8130 in Sprint, not Verizon attire. The 8130 sports a GPS receiver but no WiFi like we saw in those RIM slides last month yet still packs all the rest of the EV-DO niceties you'd expect."
:grumble: Nice to see that Sprint feels "Who needs Wifi?" when it comes to a device like the 8130. No problem - with outages and no wifi, perhaps it shall tempt some BB users to come to the dark side of Windows Mobile. Regardless of the other operating system, these new choices do mean that Sprint users will have some more options quite soon. Is it just me or does Sprint now command the most variety of Windows Mobile devices? Treos, Moguls, & Touches basically have the form factors covered. Nice.
