Sprint’s Q1 to Q3 smartphone roadmap leaked

March 17, 2009 | By Surur

PhoneNews has leaked some slides which more or less depicts most of Sprint’s 2009 line-up, and some of the devices are rather amazing.

Of course some are boring, like the Palm Treo Pro (already launched) or the HTC Cedar/Willow, coming next quarter, but some, like the HTC Rhodium, is simply amazing.

The Rhodium is not exactly the HTC Touch Pro 2. The screen is 3.4 inches instead of 3.6, and it packs both EVDO and HSDPA, and most interestingly, has Windows (mobile) 7 penciled in. Its due to drop in Q4, ad we know its going to be a long wait.

The Samsung Ace II is less exciting, but is still a dual CDMA/ UMTS device with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional instead of Standard, and this one is due to drop in Q3.

As mentioned earlier, the HTC Cedar brings up the rear, and brings nothing more exciting than a low price, lacking even WIFI, but as it will be dropping very soon may just be what recession-laden Sprint customers are asking for.

Make sure you all read over the Rhodium spec sheet. It mentions WM7, and has alot of TBDs.

Also, it uses the MSM7600 chipset. The only phones I can see with that are a few blackberrys. Does the storm get good video playback? Youtube videos on the subject seem to place it as acceptable, but will this fix all the WiMo/HTC device video playback issues?

Video playback, audio playback, overnight freezing… HTC quality seems to go down with each generation. I’m a sprint customer and love their service, but the Touch Pro (with all its awesomeness) has just been a thorn in my side! Plus, NO D-PAD on the rhodium. I hope there’s a 3rd party market where I can get a CDMA replacement for my Touch Pro because Sprint’s offering is not impressing me…

How can the Rhodium have Windows Mobile 7 in Q4, when MS have announced it for 2010?

It’s probably an old roadmap.
