Sprint last week has revealed that the Android plans depend on the time of the actual phone. Speaking to the Seattle Post-eye, the company's product VP Kevin Packingham said the launch of a Google phone using the OS, which hinges on the larger community and that the company can "pull the trigger" on the device when the right time. Phone needs a significant halo effect to attract new customers to Sprint before the service can start realistically, the official said.
"We have enough to ensure our customers that say, 'If you have a phone like this, man, I will be more interested in Sprint, therefore," he explained. "You want to come out with a bang."
Packingham does not provide guidance for when this might occur or that the company will make the phone, although the issue has Android phone to Sprint as early as 2009 and the phone will be substantially different from T-Mobile G1.
Sprint is under pressure to improve the catalog as phone companies have continued to lose customers to rival operators, including AT & T for the iPhone and almost rival CDMA, Verizon. The latter often share the same lineup as the phone and negates many Sprint plans to exclusives.
