nels0300 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/8/3145295/nokia-lumia-sprint-verizon-pureview-richard-kerris According to The Verge, there are windows phones coming to Sprint. And "Microsoft just announced four special hardware partners for Windows Phone 8 — Nokia, Huawei, Samsung, and HTC will have Windows Phone 8 devices running on "next generation silicon" from Qualcomm." http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/20/3101742/nokia-samsung-htc-and-huawei-will-have-first-windows-phone-8-devices I'm going to be waiting forever to upgrade! Was trying to decide between the GNEX vs the Galaxy S3 vs waiting for the next Nexus and now this is thrown into the mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcharles718 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What's this "enthusiast program"? lol I believe it was that you'll be able to test early builds of OS updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Whatever they do with these devices, they need to make sure there is a rockstar WP device on both Sprint and Verizon. It's tough to get any kind of US app development going when you only have decent phone models on carriers covering less than half the wireless subscribers in the US.

irev210 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I wonder if it will have LTE. 28nm qualcomm - LTE built-in I am personally excited about a competitive windows phone. In my opinion, the biggest hurdle windows phone has had is poor hardware. Give me some modern hardware that's competitive to Android and I'll give it a whirl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the slick smooth OS and the same Qualcomm processor as the flagship Androids, these things should be able to smoke about any other phone without their trickery that they used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDTD Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Would love to see "nokia" on a sprint phone.. nostalgic. Also wish sprint could get them to build the basic phones and SDC phones instead of kyocera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongboy Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hopefully by now they figured out how to make a cdma phone. More competition would be great! I remember when Nokias were the phones to avoid if you were CDMA. Sent from my EVO LTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
