• Summary of discussions with Sprint about unlocked HTC Evo handset
  
  • 3-way NDA was signed
    
  • Sprint has subcontractor who handles such purchases: contact is ?
    
  • Many handsets in warehouse, such as HTC Evo 4G; approx $300 per handset
    
  • Must be unlocked by subcontractor, so can register with GENI network; need to provide config to subcontractor (done by Ivan)
    
  • Must be sure can download Android apps
    

What are next steps?

• Working with other projects, establish how many handsets are needed at which sites
  
• Consider how to provide handsets to projects no longer supported by the GPO
