Wrote this up in the Sprint forum, so wanted to post here for those that don't go in there.
Because of TS posting that article, I went into Best Buy to speak to the Samsung Experience guys, since they are actually Samsung employees. I asked 2 questions 1) Do they know when Sprint is releasing and 2) Will they offer the 64gb version.
Answers
1) No, not the definitive date, but I suspect it'll be sometime in 1st week of October.
Follow up question, by me:
So, you don't think it'll be pushed back to later in the month?
Answer: No, everyone should be releasing around the same time.
2) Unfortunately, only the 32 is the version that seems everyone will be offering. I don't know definitively, but all signs point to all carriers only offering the 32gb version.
Follow up question by me:
I was hoping that since Sprint was being so quiet, that might be a sign they might offer the 64. So you don't think that might be a remote possibility?
Answer:
No, I wish I could say that was the case, but it doesn't really appear that anyone in the US will offer the 64 and the 64 will only be for the International unlocked.
I'm paraphrasing and as always, take that info with a grain of salt, but even though I'm slightly disappointed to hear no 64, I was encouraged to hear 1st week of October.
That means only a couple weaks back on the photon, instead of 1 month.
