According to the latest news on the Web, Sprint is preparing to launch a few new mobile phones in the coming months, among which we can spot the long expected Palm Treo Pro, two new LG devices, the HTC Cedar and a Mini version of the Samsung Instinct.

It seems that the mobile phone operator will finally release the Palm Treo Pro in March. As many of you know already, the handset has been delayed quite a few times before, but was expected to come to Sprint's users on February 15. Yesterday, the Treo Pro was announced to be delayed again, and today we learn that it might get launched on the 15th of March, although this is not a firm launch date either.

Along with Palm's Treo Pro, in mid March we should also see an LG Rumor 2 launched by the carrier. The handset is reported to come to users in two color options, namely black and blue. Another LG device to be added to Sprint's offering is the LX370. The handset comes in a slider form factor and should be a mid-range feature phone. The company is expected to release the LG LX370 in the April/May time frame.

The Samsung Instinct is also rumored to come to the carrier, this time in a Mini variant. The new handset should be smaller and thinner than the currently available ones, but it seems that the new variant will not replace the previous ones. The Samsung Instinct Mini should come on April 19 in copper or graphite and is expected to feature EVDO Rev 0.

The HTC Cedar has been already spotted a while ago when the entire roadmap of the mobile phone maker leaked to the Web. The handset is a QWERTY candybar, and is reported to come with a rather simple design. Sprint might launch this device sometimes in June.
