Sprint is NOT releasing a WP8 phone this year?

"The operator will add a Windows Phone 8 handset to its offering at some point in the future, but it won’t make the move when the first such devices are made official. "

"However, a Windows Phone 8 model will arrive on shelves at Sprint at some point in the future, most probably next year. "

If this is true, is this worth quitting Sprint and going to AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. There would be more rumors if this were true, wouldn't there? Try to leave the data speeds out of this for the moment, as they are improoving with NV deployment. I am so sick of Android, especially ICS and its non-working e-mail issues. If you are on Sprint, would you wait for them or leave 'em to get the phone you wanted now?
