Default Sprint getting an Android phone

sweet, I've been anxious to get my hands on an Android phone but want to stay with Sprint.

Looks like Sprint is finally getting one in October.

Now, just have to see if HTC is up to their "we aren't giving you a standards compliant USB port and no 3.5mm jacks either". The article says it does have a 3.5mm, so that's a start, but I 100% require a standards compliant USB connection.

I will take my laptop to the store and tell them to plug it in, if I don't see the phone charging from my laptop and the memory isn't accessible to me via Linux, I'll leave.

But if it does.... oohhhh I might have a new phone. First in over 4 years.



On a side note, I thought the first one available would be the Samsung i7500 (aka. Galaxy) but haven't heard anything about that coming to the U.S. any time soon. But from what I've seen of that phone, it would be nearly perfect for what I'm looking for.
