Sprint gets first WP8 device, the HTC 8XT Sprint has made its first Windows 8 phone device available.
Last week, the carrier revealed plans to begin offering two Windows Phone 8 devices over the coming month.

On July 19th, the HTC 8XT will go on sale for $100 with two-year contract. The device has a 4.3-inch 800x480 display, is powered by a 1.4Ghz dual-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB of internal storage.

Additionally, the phone is the first with "BoomSound":

"Developed by HTC's award winning design team, the HTC 8XT is the first Windows Phone with HTC BoomSound™ - dual front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier that deliver bigger sound with less distortion and more detail.. In addition, Beats Audio™ enables studio-quality sound, so listeners hear music the way the artist intended with unique audio tuning that delivers thundering bass, soaring midrange and crisp highs," reads the press release.
