Sprint

Sprint currently offers two Android devices with three shipping in the coming months.

HTC Hero

Specs
• 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen
• 5-megapixel AF camera (no flash)
• Wi-Fi
• GPS
• 4.5 ounces
• Bluetooth 2.0
• Ships with 2GB microSD
• Android v1.5 with HTC Sense UI

Yay or Nay
The Hero has been around for a while and has since been supplanted as the top dog by other HTC devices in the pipe for Sprint. Wait for the Nexus One or EVO 4G.

Price $99.99

Samsung Moment

Specs
• 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen
• 3.2-megapixel camera
• Wi-Fi
• GPS
• Bluetooth
• 5.67 ounces
• Ships with 2GB microSD
• Android v1.5

Yay or Nay
The Moment is a no frills device with a solid keyboard and beautiful AMOLED screen. It’s only downfall at the moment (pun intended) is that it’s running v1.5 of Android. If Sprint can push 2.1 then we’d have no qualms recommending this device.

Price $99.99

Motorola i1

Specs
• 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen
• 5-megapixel AF camera
• Android v1.5

Yay or Nay
If you need a push-to-talk device that happens to run Android then the i1 is probably going to be the device for you!

Price $TBD

HTC EVO 4G

Specs
• 4.3-inch touchscreen
• 8-megapixel AF camera (rear) with HD video capture, 1.3-megapixel camera (front facing)
• Wi-Fi
• GPS
• Built-in kickstand
• 4G compatible
• Android v2.1 with HTC Sense UI

Yay or Nay
Sprint says the Evo 4G will ship this summer June 4, so you can either wait or pick up one of the other Android devices currently available from Sprint. We suggest you wait.

Price $200
