Did everyone forget what happened with NEXTEL???? This MUST NOT HAPPEN!
It's not about what happened with Nextel. It's about an incompetent company with a history failed projects. Nextel, QChat, WiMAX, ridiculously slow LTE deployment due to backhaul issues. A company so incompetent it blames it's failures on AT&T and Verizon so it wants to go to easy route by acquiring another company and therefore removing competition.

I think every one is jumping to conclusion! Softbank might get rid of the sprint brand and keep Tmobile.
all 4 give the option to pay full price we all kno that
what im saying is a lot of people dont wanna pay full price for their phone(make installment payments with Next, Edge, Jump) theres still a lot of people that want to be on a 2 yr contract because they dont want a new phone every 6/12/18 months. theyd rather just keep the one they have as long as possible and Sprint and T-Mobile you obviously dont have that option
theres a lot of people that have older plans on att and verizon where theyre not paying anything extra to be on a 2 yr contract and would actually pay more for if they didnt
and actually now that i think about even if you do those installment plans a lot of times you end up paying more if you add it up
