Sprint, the nation’s third largest carrier, has made some public comments about its future roadmap and its relationship with Windows Mobile. The carrier has stated that it wants Windows Mobile 7, but that’s dependent upon Microsoft’s timeline. However, when pressed further, it seems that Sprint’s Vice President confessed that the carrier’s 2010 roadmap from HTC will be Android dependent:

I can’t talk about our 2010 roadmap specifically but I can tell you Sprint has a robust 2010 roadmap with HTC. The roadmap will lead the industry in a host of capabilities and will be on the android platform

Regarding Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrades for current Sprint devices, the carrier is saying that the ETA will be early 2010 for those Sprint Touch Pro2s.
