Remember a while back, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse’s comments about Android not being ready for Sprint?
Apparently, that never meant Sprint nixed their plans. Sprint is still announcing plans to adopt an Android handset in the near future, as was always expected. Apparently, Dan’s comments meant to illustrate that they were watching and gauging T-mobile’s success with it before pulling the trigger themselves.
In fact, at Sprint’s mobile developer conference last week, Google’s VP of mobile technology, Rich Miner, was a keynote speaker.
So, it would appear that Sprint never turned their back on Android, as was speculated. They just decided to play it safe.
Given their current economic status, perhaps that was a smart move. Here’s to hoping something turns up soon (HTC Pegassi, anyone?).
