Sprint AND Motorola Heading The Way of The Dinosaurs?
A couple weeks ago, Sprint announced the loss of 639,000 customers in Q4 alone. They also announce 4,000 employee cutbacks and 125 store closures. It seems as though the CDMA/iDEN company is on its death bed.

I'm not saying their service is totally bad all around, they just have a lot that needs improvement.
