The drumbeat for Sprint getting the iPhone 5 just keeps growing louder, as a reportedly leaked internal memo says that the third-largest carrier is gearing up for a “major phone launch in October.”

According to SprintFeed, the carrier is blocking out vacation requests for employees between September 30 through October 15th. The Epic 4G Touch will be landing later this month, so it’s not too crazy to think that this major phone launch will be the next iPhone.

The iPhone 5 on Sprint may be the best choice for newcomers to Apple’s smartphone, as reports suggest it will be offered with unlimited data plans. Newbies on AT&T and Verizon have to put up with a tiered data plan, which can quickly be a pain if you’re a big user of streaming services.

So Sprint fans, it’s looking like the iPhone 5 on your carrier is real, are you excited or will you be too busy enjoying your Epic Touch 4G too much to care?
