The fine folks over at SprintFeed have a nice little rumor for us today. They have it on good authority from their sources that Sprint will be introducing three (3!) new Windows Phone handsets in the first half of 2012. This would really make a lot of sense for Sprint. They are currently stuck between WiMAX and LTE, which puts 4G devices in limbo. “Should I buy this WiMAX device or wait for LTE?” Meanwhile Windows Phone only needs 3G, and Sprint has plenty of that.More specific details are limited, but they did mention Nokia, Samsung, and HTC as the front runners. Nokia’s upcoming “Operation Rolling Thunder” could include Sprint, and Sammy and HTC are already buddies with the Now Network. We’ll probably see more about this at CES. 2012 is surely set to be the year of Windows Phone.
This has the makings of a win-win situation, as Windows Phone would increase its stateside availability and Sprint’s catalog would see some needed growth. As far as device details are concerned, nothing clear has been mentioned. But looking at Windows Phone’s near-uniformed specifications and their current list of hardware manufacturers, Nokia, Samsung and HTC are our leading suspects.
