When will sprint catch up to verizon on phone production?
Verizon may be 'pumping out' a bunch of phones, but they pay a lot of money to get what is essentially repeats of old devices, with a new name. There's no need for 12 different bar-style keyboard phones, especially when five are from the same manufacturer, and only one of those five has any major improvements over the others.
It creates the illusion of constantly having new phones, but the phones themselves are nothing special. This constant purchasing of every new phone released helps to keep the customer's monthly rate high.
Sprint, with the exception of those blasphemous Nextel devices, tends to wait until there is a reason to spend money buying a new device before doing so. They stay up-to-date with major features, but are...

The EVO will be a flop, not because it won't be a cool phone, but sprint won't market it right, and their bad reputation is still haunting them.
i disagree. the evo will do great. we have lots of customers anticipating its release. i agree sprint did have a bad rep but no one can compete with the everything data plans that we offer. everybody else is way over priced for data plans or plans for pda's. name anybody that has a plan with any time any mobile, data, gps, and sms and 450 min for land lines for 69.99. the one down side is the fact that we dont have a just unlimited talk plan

*fingers crossed* More competition the better IMO.
The HTC Evo 4G will play a huge part in this. Sprint will GAIN Post Paid customers by the drove loads. Count on it! A majority of this population pool will have been prior iPhone users too.
Those in 3G areas might still benefit, but they'll also generate the misconception that the 4G phone "isn't that fast", not realizing that the 4G speeds aren't available in all areas.
We will see. I just hope this 3G/4G confusion doesn't hurt Sprint's reputation any more.
Sprint only lost 75,000 this quarter, its dropping!!!!
There is a phone for everyone BUT the Iphone lover, and that is soon to be rectified as well.

Unless you accept rumors and speculation as gospel.
My friend knows someone who delivers mail to the girlfriend of a guy who knows the engineer thats working on CMDA iPhone.
"...there’s no word in the press as to when the agreement expires. Many speculate..."
