Sprint version a WorldPhone?

[ianherrick]

I've been all over the web, found a couple of articles detailing FCC registrations, but have otherwise uncovered nothing concrete if the Sprint Galaxy S4 will support GSM/WCDMA global roaming.

Does anyone have the answer to this? Or will we have to wait until we have the phone?

Thank you. The information on Sprint's site did not list any of those specifications, should have went to Samsung first I guess. I also have not been able to determine if the SIM will be embedded or removable.

Nobody has confirmed a removable sim yet so we can only hope since the ONE has it the GS4 will as well.
I'm surprised that none of the reviewers have a sprint version yet to test.

Just found this over at sprint
Sprint Community: Galaxy S4 - World Phone

The rep there confirms removable sim

According to this review, published today, it is most definitely a removable microSIM. There's even a picture of the Sprint model:
