Sprint, home of the cheap Simply Everything plan (w/ text, data etc), is getting an Android phone from HTC starting in October.
Sprint's plan gives 450 minutes, unlimited text and data for around $69.99. The comparable plan on AT&T runs around $90 a month (39 for voice, 20 for texts, another 30 or data). Having a Android alternative to the iPhone would be huge (especially since the Pre hit a few roadblocks, notably the App store).
As explained on cnet:
Other goodies on the 3G (EV-DO) handset include a 5-megapixel camera with video recoding, Bluetooth with a stereo profile, an accelerometer, visual voicemail, Sprint TV, a MicroSD card slot, NFL Mobile Live and Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile, a speakerphone, personal organizer options, messaging and e-mail, a music player, Wi-Fi and integrated GPS. Two especially welcome additions are the 3.5mm headset jack (previous Android devices had only proprietary connections and Out integration with e-mail, contacts and calendar (the MyTouch has e-mail only). And naturally, the Hero will support the full range of apps from the Android Market.
