I don't think that this process caused a long delay as I hear that Sprint is currently testing this phone.
Really, I've always heard Sprint's rumored release date was Q3/4 of this year and that has been since Jan/Feb.

Here's to hoping!
Hope your right.. Guess I should wait a bit before getting the Tour.. A CDMA Berry with Wifi, we can dream right.


For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.
