David Owens of Sprint Nextel confirmed that Sprint is looking into offering dual-mode CDMA/GSM Android devices, taking into consideration functionality similar to Novatel’s MiFi router. Owens said the company will be selling lots of Android devices from HTC in 2010, and that he expects price points to come down as the platform is more widely adopted. Sprint hopes to offer Windows Mobile 7 phones as soon as possible, but is dependent on Microsoft to prepare it. As for Sprint’s BlackBerry offerings, the Tour will gain Wi-Fi, and Sprint will release other Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerries. Furthermore, Owens mentioned that WiMax phones will be available next year, and that it will no longer allow tethering on its smartphones.
