PTT Blackberry coming to Sprint, Android phone pre-sale, Best Buy gets friendly with the iPhone, and other mobile phone rumors and news

There are a few good rumors to pass on to you today that will be exciting for those of you who want a push-to-talk-capable Blackberry on Sprint, an Android-based phone sooner rather than later, or a new Walkman phone from AT&T. In other news, Best Buy adds a famous Apple product to its line-up and and Apple's App Store has some phenomenal sales numbers in its first month of existence.


If this leaked roadmap is correct, Sprint will be releasing a new push-to-talk Blackberry later this year.  It looks a lot like the Curve, but may be a bit thicker to accommodate the antenna that will be needed for push-to-talk.

Apple's App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch has garnered $30 million in sales in its first month.  This is an impressive number for its first month, but it's impossible to predict if this sales level will continue once the novelty wears off.  Steve Jobs also told the Wall Street Journal that there is a "kill switch" in the iPhone's software that will allow Apple to remotely remove software, specifically to prevent a malicious app from doing any harm.
