Sprint does not use GSM and thus this phone would not work on the Sprint Network. It would however work on AT&T and T-Mobile though not the 3G part since the UMTS part only utlizes European Bands and does not provide support for the US Bands.
I even remember the first Triband GSM Phone from Ericsson that allowed international GSM Roaming. They shouldn't release business 3G phones that aren't capable of roaming on 3G properly... I guess European's are stuck to EDGE in the US when they visit with most 3G phones from Europe.

Does this phone run on a Sprint compatible network?
It's not as if I would ever expect Sprint to release a cool phone (haha!), just curious.
