According to Brighthand (http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=13499), the Moto Q9 (http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=973) is coming to Sprint as the Q9c, the "c" depicts CDMA on November 23rd--Black Friday.
The Q9c will operate on EVDO for fast data transfers, have some software customization, and like the Q9 Global on AT&T, will also feature GPS. Unlike the music version, the Q9m on Verizon Wireless, the Q9c on Sprint will be more business-centric. Also, the Q9m did not feature GPS.
Brighthand reports that the Q9c will be available for $450 full retail or $200 on what appears to be a two-year service agreement with Sprint.
This should be good news for the Sprint camp as the Q9 has one of the best full QWERTY keyboards in the industry. I was thoroughly impressed with the keyboard on the AT&T Q9 Global. The GPS on the Q9 Global worked fairly well, so hopefully Motorola will be able to replicate its success here.
