Well, you might, after you're next upgrade! Sprint and US Cellular use CDMA which is not compatible with T-Mobile phones.

And don't forget the only real retail experience Dish has is closing Blockbuster stores. Unfortunately for Dish, you can't hope to achieve success in wireless with newspaper and coupon clipper inserts as your main customer point of contact.

But your argument is flawed in the respect of price. Unlike Wal-mart, Verizon and at&t do not offer lower prices than their competitors. If anything, their prices are higher than Sprint, T-mobile and others.

if this Crest financial group is success at preventing Sprint's bid. The next logical step would be for Sprint to pull all it's financial support, which will probably lead to Clearwire's bankruptcy. Then Sprint can swoop in and pay even less for Clearwire in bankruptcy court!

"Shared Data" plans for quite some time. Unlimited Data shared amongst all phones on the same plan has been availible on Sprint plans for at least 5-6 years! But back then to Verizon and at&t data was a "feature" and was billed per phone on your acount.

is going to provide more training to these 3000 locations than they apparently have so far. I had a customer calling the Sprint dealer store where I work asking how to unlock her Nextel device for GoSmart. She was sold the GoSmart SIM and told to come to us to unlock her phone. :evil:

Sorry if you don't like the new phones. But as a sales consultant in a Sprint dealer store in an area that used to be primarily Nextel (in fact our dealer store location at one to used to be a Nextel Corporate location), I would like to point out that since the release of the DuraXT and DuraPlus we have received 0 complaints from anyone regarding sound quality and/or volume with either the earpiece or speaker of these devices. ...

of those "low-income" customers that have Assurance Wireless because they claim they "cannot afford" their own phone pay the same rate as those who spend their money on their own Straight Talk, Boost, or other no-contract options because they've added on options to the basic service.

In case you've been hiding under a rock the past 6 months, Motorola has already lost it's largest IDEN customer, Nextel. Sprint stopped selling Nextel devices back in June and won't be supporting them at it's in-store service and repair centers after the new year.

in the Article: Motorola to Cut Jobs, Close Offices, Focus on Fewer Phones forum

to dial back the number of new phones. Motorola's been killing themselves with all those Android phones for Verizon. Do they really need 3 or4 different high end models on sale at the same time all competing for a customer's attention? NO!! It causes more customer confusion than it produces more sales.

Since T-mobile is having the same issue with their SIII, I tend to believe it's Samsung that is at fault. So the better question is why is Samsung screwing this launch up, since they apparently want to "beat Apple"?

in the Article: Apple Moves to Block Samsung Galaxy S III forum

lawsuit and import ban push by Apple is related to the statements the carriers have been making lately about wanting to curtail the high subsidies on smartphones. Apple's plan might just be to eleminate all the other smartphones on the market, so the carriers have no choice but to pay whatever price Apple demands. Or be left with no smartphones to sell.
