Sprint planning its first low-cost 4G phone


There is a rumor floating around that Sprint will be releasing a low cost 4G WiMAX capable phone under the model number SPH-D600. No specific specifications have been given at this time, however, Pocketnow reports it will feature a 1Ghz Qualcomm processor, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS and a 3.1MP camera. This model will only feature a 320X480 HVGA display and speculations are this phone will be in the sub $100 price point. This could be an excellent move for Sprint because most of their 4G capable phones like the HTC EVO and Samsung Epic are on the higher end of the price structure. At this time the most affordable 4G WiMAX capable phone is the HTC EVO shift, which is priced at $149.99 after rebate. With a sub $100 price point this model could help Sprint's 4G WiMAX network be adapted and utilized by more consumers.
