I see both Verizon and AT&T are getting this.  Has anyone heard rumblings for a Sprinter variant?  I was hoping since they at least have a CDMA version that Sprint would be able to get their bands on it also.

We haven't seen anything come through the FCC about it. So as of today, the answer seems to be no.

The best option would is to wait for a Rom and boot it up on the one m8. This seems like a lost opportunity for htc seeing as they don't have to pay for the use of Windows phone and the work is already done in hardware why not make about 100k for Sprint and see how it sells what harm could that be as in sure the Sprint and Verizon variant would barely be perciptively different.

Purchasing trends don't show the demand on Sprint for a Windows Phone device. Until Windows app store meets 90% of Android's most desired apps it's going to continue to struggle. Whether it's a corner cap of Target or the phone cage/cabinet at the back of a Sprint store, if the device isn't selling, it's taking up desired space.

Verizon does have a lot of business customers, since Blackberry is on the decline a lot of shops see Windows phone as the easiest thing to get going without spending a whole lot of money on their back end, since most of their systems are already inside the Windows ecosystem.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
