Sprint LG Lotus Lightning Review

The Gadget: LG Lotus, an odd little monster of clamshell with a full QWERTY keyboard and a UI by Sprint in collaboration with Frog Design. Price: $150 Verdict: The form factor is utterly bizarre—a flip phone as wide as Oprah’s ass with a full QWERTY keyboard that takes its design cues from a chick’s makeup…

Sprint CEO: Android Is Not Good Enough for Sprint (Yet)

CEO Dan Hesse, whom you may remember from those classy black-and-white commercials on the teevee, recently told the National Press Club that as it stands, he doesn’t think Android is “good enough to put the Sprint brand on it.” Sure, he probably just meant that he’d like to see Android’s kinks ironed out before Sprint…

Sprint HTC Touch Pro Delayed

The rumors, they are true—Sprint’s HTC Touch Pro, originally set to drop on Oct. 19, has been delayed until at least the end of the month, and possibly into November. Apparently it’s an issue of making sure they have enough to go around. Oddly, it seems like Sprint stores and their online shop will get…

Sprint Instinct Gets Pandora for $3 a Month

Another talking point for the throaty fake movie announcer in Sprint’s occasionally amusing Instinct vs. iPhone schtick: The Instinct now has a Pandora app. However, it’ll cost you three bucks a month (like on most phones with Pandora), even though it’s free on the iPhone. You can grab it through your Digital Lounge. Comment competition:…
