I hope not!
Perhaps HTC is finally in a position to negotiate with Sprint over the name/look of the device. Obviously, they aren't yet in that position with Verizon, who will (more than likely) insist on a DROID-branded version of the phone, to be launched later than The One so it seems "newer."

I hope HTC sticks to their guns with both Spring and Verizon. It worked for Samsung. Manufactures need to stand up to the carriers. I hate verizon. That "verizon" logo on the note 2 pisses me off.
I say no also. I think one of HTCs biggest problems is they dilute their brand recognition by putting different phones on different carriers. They need to unify their image like the other manufacturers. Obviously their current strategy isn't working.

The HTC One is on my shortlist of what I will upgrade to, but if Sprint touches the design of this phone I will not buy it. I messed up by buying the EVO LTE. This thing has no wide sweeping community support like the Galaxy S3 does. Less than a couple months after getting my EVO LTE interest in the forums was gone and updates are few and far between (very disappointing). Lesson learned and next time I will buy a cross carrier widely adopted phone that is not "Sprint-ified"
Sadly the only carrier that would share Sprints version would be Verizon and they aren't getting it. Because of the radio differences Sprint's HTC one will always have a separate dev community.

I gave mine to my son and added a line to get Note 2 like you said not enough support for it from devs

I'd like to think that. But you think that's final? There's got to be a Sprint logo there somewhere, right?

Lets hope HTC follows along the same lines that Sammy did with the S3. Aside from carrier related bloatware they all pretty much remained the same across the board well cough ** Verizon ** cough.. as usual had to lock the boot loader & throw more bloat on their end.
Yes absolutely.
I agree, hope they minimally modify it.
Yeah, we Sprint folks get the short end of the stick a lot. But that hasn't stopped us from making quality ROMs. Are there as many ROMs for Sprint devices as other carriers? No. But there are good ones available.

Or better yet, offer a case with a kickstand? I'd pay good money for that.

Right! That would definitely help with accessories for the phone. Wouldn't matter what carrier or country, the external phone size/shape would be the same...
