Looks like it’s time to double-down on some of last month’s full 2009 HTC lineup rumors. According to PPCGeeks forum ‘regular’ jlechner’s family friend (yea, it is a bit of a stretch), Sprint is expected to launch a CDMA variation of the HTC Rhodium in the 3rd quarter of 2009.
This somewhat far-fetched speculation is bolstered by the lone fact that the forum member knew the device’s actual name – Rhodium – at least a month before the lineup was leaked.
If this turns out to be true and Sprint actually gets some new HTC hotness (in conjunction with the pending CDMA Palm Pre), the struggling mobilecom might have just enough to save itself from obliteration.

HTC is maybe the hottest mobile company on the planet. I’ve had two so far and both had excellent usability and good design, used the latest tech and were really affordable.
If Sprint is a little worried about their user base, then they will get this product out ASAP! The sooner the better, to keep subscribers from going to the iPhone 3G or, by the 3rd Quarter, the 3rd gen iPhone.
