Sprint may be preparing to announce the Galaxy Note during next week’s Consumer Electronics Show. So far, we’ve only heard rumors that the device will launch on AT&T with 4G LTE support. The Galaxy Note is often referred to as a cross between a tablet and a phone, and it originally launched in Europe earlier this year. It is equipped with a large 5.3-inch display with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, a 1.4GHz processor and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. If Sprint does launch the Galaxy Note, as SprintFeed is suggesting it will, the phone will likely come equipped with support for Sprint’s WiMAX network. BGR will be reporting live from CES 2012 next week, so stay tuned for more

Sprint and Clearwire are close to inking a deal that will extend an existing network-sharing agreement an additional 3-5 years, Bloomberg Businessweek said Friday. The current agreement will terminate at the end of 2012. Allegedly, the deal is not final and could still fall through. If it is finalized, Sprint is poised to pay less for access to Clearwire’s network than it currently does. Clearwire has been seeking additional funding to help it build out a 4G LTE network, which is expected to cost $600 million, but Sprint will not provide any of the financing. “This would likely help [Clearwire] get funding, because it would provide increased visibility into revenue-getting opportunit

Sprint announced on Tuesday that it has filed a lawsuit with a federal court in the U.S. District of Columbia in an effort to block AT&T’s planned $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. The suit is related to the Department of Justice’s lawsuit, which was filed on August 31st. “Sprint opposes AT&T’s proposed takeover of T-Mobile,” Sprint’s vice president of litigation Suzan Haller said. “With today’s legal action, we are continuing that advocacy on behalf of consumers and competition, and expect to contribute our expertise and resources in proving that the proposed transaction is illegal.” Sprint argued that the merger will “harm retail c

Sprint has confirmed that HTC’s Evo 3D smartphone and View 4G tablet will hit store shelves on June 24th. The handset, which allows users to view 3D without special glasses, carries a very reasonable $200 price tag, while the Evo View 4G tablet weighs in at a cool $400. As expected, the above-mentioned price points are contingent upon a two-year service agreement from the carrier. The Evo 3D is certainly one hotly anticipated smartphone, as it features a slew of tricked out specs, including 4G speeds, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), a 4.3-inch display, 1.2GHz (Qualcomm) Snapdragon dual-core processor and dual 5-megapixel cameras. The 7-inch Evo View tablet also boasts impressive specs,

Sprint’s public sector marketing director, Gerald Evans, recently posted a message on his personal blog noting that Sprint planned to launch the Wi-Fi version of the BlackBerry PlayBook on June 5th for $499. The post has since been pulled, so it’s unclear if the tablet will make its debut on Sunday, but we suspect it was a slip on Evans’ part and that the launch is likely to take place on that date. Sprint has also announced that it will offer a 4G WiMAX version of the tablet sometime this summer; there’s still no official word on a launch date or price for that model, however.

Sprint Nextel Corp. announced today at the International CTIA Wireless 2011 show in Orlando, Florida the new HTC EVO 3D smartphone and the HTC EVO View 4G tablet — which is known as HTC Flyer around the world. Both devices will be 4G-enabled and will become available sometime in the Summer of this year. Price will be announced closer to launch, according to Sprint. As suggested by the name, the new HTC EVO 3D will allow individuals to record and view 3D video with no need of 3D glasses. The phone will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread at launch. It’s going to be powered by 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor. The device has also been equipped with two 5-megapixel

The sleek phone is coming out on June 4th of this year from the phone provider Sprint for $200…too cheap for just hitting the market? Well, you guessed it, that’s after a mail-in rebate. The full price of this phone, you ask?..$450. Not too bad when it’s compared to the BlackBerry or Apple’s iPhone 3Gs, which could run you a bill past $699 without a three-year contract. This Android-powered Windows MAX phone runs on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, it also has a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video-conferencing and so on, an 8 megapixel camera for shooting photos and videos and a large 4.3-inch touch-screen which also requires a special, mandatory data plan…but doesn
