Samsung to Bring Android Phone to Sprint in Q2

Samsung, maker of the Omnia and Instinct, among other touch-screen phones, said it will offer an Android-based phone in the second quarter of 2009. T-Mobile (which has the current G1) and Sprint will be the US operators carrying the phone.

This comes on the heels of a quasi/informal Sprint statement that the company would in fact be bringing out an Android phone in 2009. AT&T has also suggested that it may release one in 2009 as well. 

Officially there are two Android phones today: the HTC G1 and the Kogan Agora/Agora Pro (Australia). Motorola is reportedly working on one or more handsets based on Android and now comes the Samsung announcement. 

As a Sprint customer I'm likely to wait and stay with the carrier now to get the phone rather than switch to AT&T.
