Sprint To Launch WiMAX Android Phone

Word has been going around that Sprint will be looking to release a cell phone that supports WiMAX and EV-DO, though not much else was said before this. Now it seems that analysts are suggesting that Android will be the platform of choice or such an adventure, and Samsung might be the manufacturer of the necessary hardware. If the rumor is true, the device is rumored to launch when Clearwire hits the 100 million subscriber mark in the US, which is expected to be achieved before 2010 is out.
