Sprint to Get iPhone 5 in Mid-October

But no new iPhone at all in September

Sprint customers, long forced to use less-cool, non-Apple smartphones, will finally get their chance to join the iPhone club. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the wireless carrier will begin selling the iPhone 5 (as well as the iPhone 4) in mid-October.

While this is good news for Sprint subscribers, it’s not promising for everyone else who’s been dying to get their hands on the next-gen iPhone. Until now, most reports suggested that the iPhone 5 would be released in September, but WSJ sources are now saying that the phone won’t be available to anyone until mid-October, meaning that AT&T and Verizon customers will have to wait an extra month, too.
