Sprint Planning To Announce “groundbreaking new device”

Sprint customers are given a new alert tonight with a message that says: Visit us tomorrow for an exciting announcement about a groundbreaking new device." No other details or information was provided. If we were to make a guess, signs would point toward HTC's Supersonic, which is a long rumored, WiMAX smartphone that comes with a 4.3-inch screen and an Android 2.1 OS with a Sense UI. Other possibilities could be a 4G device, since one of those will definitely fit the "groundbreaking" category. The plans for revealing the phone were already made for the CTIA event, which officially kicks off tomorrow. A web chat transcript from the Sprint Community seems to agree, but no one can verify the validity of the image. If the announcement turns out to be the new large-screened WiMAX phone, we all know what Sprint CEO Dan Hesse is going to be talking about in his keynote on Wednesday. Check the web transcript image below:
