A new Apple job posting suggests that the company may be planning to offer a version of the iPhone on Sprint. Stop it, AT&T reports on a new job posting for a Carrier Engineer based in Kansas City, MO, who would be part of a team “that supports taking products through technical approval at the carriers.” As noted in the report, Sprint’s headquarters in in Overland Park, KS, a suburb of Kansas City. Interestingly, the posting in question has since been changed to list Cupertino as the job location; it is possible, although unlikely, that Kansas City was listed by mistake. [via Mac Rumors]

While I’m glad to see that Sprint could get the iPhone, count me in as a customer that doesn’t care anymore. I have a Blackberry that fulfills my voice and data needs for the most part and an iPod touch for the rest. I do wonder how a Sprint iPhone would handle data since I have found that 3G data is slow to nonexistent in places.
