Hesse confirms Android coming to Sprint, Pre humming along
MobileCrunch —
... an Android phone. Hesse wouldn’t divulge any other details like a launch date or handset manufacturer, but stated that it would not be tied into Clearwire. Is WiMAX still around?
When asked about the Pre, Hesse said that Sprint has “high expectations” for the most badass phone of 2009 and that it’s still on track to launch in the first half of the year. But he said that it wouldn’t launch until it’s ready. Let’s hope that when it does launch it blows away everyone.

Sprint Android Coming, CEO Reassures
Android Phone Fans —
... there is no “new” news to announce, The Business Insider spoke with Hesse and assured them they ARE working on a Sprint Android device. It will NOT be tied into WiMax, the 4G network rolled over to Clearwire, but if Clearwire is to exist much longer someone had better do something with it. So yes, Sprint customers… you have NOT been forgotten by the Android Gods and you WILL have something in the coming months. Or at least in 2009… I would think.
