Sprint plans for tri-mode WiMAX, WiFi, CDMA Palm handset?

According to reports at BGR and SmartTrend, SmarTrend is reporting that an unnamed Sprint/Nextel employee stated they will offer a tri-mode phone compatible with CDMA, WiFi and WiMAX and may expand 4G coverage to cities not previously disclosed, a spokesperson told Unstrung. She said the company has not announced specific timing or other details, but they should have a 4G phone on their map for 2009-2010. It is not clear on which device as it does mention Android, but my guess would be a Palm Pre verison 2 with all of the goodies rolled into one mix or another Palm device running WebOS.

If a 4G Pre comes out in December I'll be pissed.
If it's a 4G Android phone I'll probably leave the Pre.
Unless it's ugly like the Galaxy or G1. The Magic is nice, but it would be by Samsung as Samsung is the only one announced to release an Android phone on Sprint in 09.
