many new phones for SPRINT

My sprint indirect rep. told me that there are MANY new phones in the pipeline coming for SPRINT in the next couple of months, to be more competitive with VZN and AT&T, just wondering if anyone has heard about others besides the SANYO messaging, PALM PRE And SAMSUNG Instinct 2

I honestly don't see how it could be any worse than the line-up Sprint has had recently. The Rumor, Rumor 2, Rant, Lotus, High-note etc all having huge issues with moving parts. I'm amazed it took this long for Sanyo to jump into the messaging device ...
