It looks like Sprint will indeed be getting the iPhone 5 soon--perhaps on Tuesday.

Apparently confirming earlier rumors, a screenshot published by Engadget purportedly of a Radio Shack inventory page lists a 16GB and 32GB iPhone 5. It was suggested in early September that a Sprint iPhone 5 was in the offing when an internal carrier memo informed employees of a vacation blackout from September 30 through October 15 due to the "possibility of a major phone launch."

The screenshot also seems to confirm earlier reports from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, which reported that customers would have access to an unlimited data plan.

Apple might give us more information on a Sprint iPhone on Tuesday, when the company is widely expected to take the wraps off a next-generation iPhone during a Cupertino, Calif., press event. Apple sent invitations to the media last week that featured a cluster of four iOS icons and the tag line "Let's talk iPhone."

Come back at 10 a.m. Tuesday for News.com's live blog of the event.
