Sprint Users forum member r0fl is at it again. This time, the sleuthy Sprint user has posted an image of what appears to be a Sprint-branded Motorola XOOM tablet. The device, which is currently offered with cellular connectivity exclusively by CDMA carrier Verizon Wireless, should carry the same set of specifications as the model currently being sold. What is not clear, however, is if the device will ship WiMAX-enabled or WiMAX upgradeable. R0fl has a proven track record when it comes to unreleased Sprint hardware — back in December he leaked images of Sprint’s MiFi 4082 and HTC’s EVO Shift 4G prior to their release.
Yep looks like the rumor is true, sprint will be going in this year. Good thing I can still return my Verizon Xoom, even though LTE is faster than Sprint Wimax, I despise Verizon business practices with their data plans and service, and I did not buy it on contract, straight $800 bucks, rather see a Sprint logo than a Verizon one. If I were ever to activate the 3G/4G service.
