I keep seeing T-Mobile's name associated with the Dream but I was under the impression that Sprint is also a good candidate to carry Android phones. I wonder how likely it is that Sprint will adopt the Dream?
From my research (on this site and Boygeniusreport) it seems the Dream is not a CDMA phone. This means Sprint and Verizon wont be carrying immediately. I assume there will be CDMA versions in the future. For now its a T-Mobile exclusive for a week.
I am looking forward to seeing how they've culled the latest version of this operating system. Is it for power users? or more casual users?
well first off the problem with Sprint adopting the 'Dream' is that it is GSM, not CDMA. But Sprint is part of the 'Open Handset Alliance' and I've read elsewhere that Sprint should be getting an Android phone in the near future as well, but no word of when or in what form factor. People keep throwing around the word 'exclusivity' with T-Mobile, but that would kind of negate a large part of the reason Google got into the 'business' so I think your chance for Sprint are good... just may take a bit longer, besides then you'll benefit from all the bugs tat show up on T-Mobile.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
