During 2009, Sprint Nextel entered the Android arena by launching their first Android powered handset, the Sprint HTC Hero. The HTC Hero was just the third Android handset to launch across the United States, and marked the first handset to be made available across the Sprint network.
Following the success of the HTC Hero Android phone, Sprint later launched the Sprint Samsung Moment in November of 2009.
With plans to launch more Android powered handsets into 2010, the Google Android and Sprint partnership is expected to continue well into 2010 and beyond.
