The email reads, in part:
Hello, I was writing to comment on your article about the iPhone going to other carriers. I work in an electronics store that has a mobile phone store within it. I can confirm that Sprint will be carrying the iPhone beginning in June. They’ve begun to grease the wheels for advertising. There is no news in regards to a Verizon version however.

Makes more sense than Verizon.
With proof like that, let’s just call this confirmed!
In what alternate reality!?!? Why go with the last place carrier in the US?
totally make more sense
@cptnkirk – true, Sprint didn’t make fun of the iPhone like VZW’s ads. Plus, Sprint has kind of even “helped” the iPhone by including it in ads for their 4G hot-spot.
Prediction–Apple will offer to any US carrier that agrees to their terms. Steve will announce this at WWDC. Initially: T-Mobile, then Sprint and Verizon in the coming months. iPhone 4 will be able to run on any system due to custom RF silicon.

OMG! I want it! I need it! I gotta have it!
I’m a lot more gullible when they actually talk about a carrier I use!
As long as the screen isn’t smaller. That is the one rumor I have heard about the CDMA version that I do not like.
If true, it may be because Verizon still refuses to allow the iTunes Store on their network. They’re hanging on to the fantasy their Verizon Media Store can be a big deal, and do not want to accept the reality they of just being a dumb pipe. They want to be a big multi-media player.
Yep. I trust Best Buy employees for all my electronics wisdom. I also drive a Yugo, which I bought on the advice of the dealership staff.
OK. That aside, I will say one thing: Sprint does, in a funny way, make more sense than Verizon. Why? Because Verizon certainly give the impression that they are arrogant and difficult to deal with. I can’t picture them NOT completely blowing any negotiation with Apple. Sprint is looking at its impending doom, and I could see them saying: “We will give Apple ANYTHING they want to get the iPhone. ANYTHING.” And in an odd way, the fact that Sprint has been investing heavily in its infrastructure – but not getting a lot of new users – could mean that they have enough excess high-bandwidth capacity that they could accommodate a sudden influx of iPhone users.
MDN word: money. As in, “It’s all about the Benjamins.”
I think I saw this story on The Onion…
just my $0.02
If the iPhone comes to Verizon I could finally own one.

Actually, I believe Sprint was more making fun of ATT. It was promoting Sprint’s MiFi product so that you could use your iPhone to surf, etc. when you didn’t have ATT service.
Hey well now instead of dropping calls – we will just not be able to make them cause we will have no bars.. Sprint has lousy serice – there is a reason that they are number 4.
Do android users have to go through the Verizon store?
