Quite a few people have noticed when they logged into their accounts this morning that there is a nice little banner that says,
“Sprint Premier Customers: Visit us tomorrow for an exciting announcement about a groundbreaking new device”
Could this be the new HTC Supersonic 4G device that’s been rumored to make an appearance this week at CTIA?
We will have full coverage of CTIA this week including Dan Hesse’s keynote speech tomorrow at 9am PDT (Noon, EDT)
Correction: Dan Hesse’s keynote speech is going to be on Wednesday, March 24 at 9am PDT, Noon EDT.
