Gearlog has gotten a hold of a Sprint executive discussing Sprint’s upcoming plans for 2010. Here’s a list below of some of the upcoming treats that will be available:
* Google Android OS updates are coming for the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment. While he didn’t specify a version – 1.6 or 2.0 – HTC has previously confirmed that they’re working on an Android 2.0 update for the Hero.
* Combination CDMA/GSM Android phones are also “a possibility but nothing this year.”
* They’re considering an Android phone with a built-in MiFi-type router.
* Android phones will get less expensive “as we see volume across the industry.”
* Lots of HTC and BlackBerry phones coming next year. HTC phones “will be on the Android platform.”
* Sprint will “add Wi-Fi to [the BlackBerry] Tour” and have other Wi-Fi BlackBerries going forward.
* They’re testing Windows Mobile 6.5 updates for the HTC Touch Pro2 and other Windows phones; “plan for early 2010.”
* They want Windows Mobile 7.0 “as soon as possible, but dependent on Microsoft.”
* Expect WiMAX phones next year.
* No tethering for phones that require Everything plans (such as all smartphones) from here on out.
