"The Pre might have slowed the drain at Sprint but it hasn't managed to turn things around completely -- America's number three carrier posted a second-quarter loss of $384m as it lost another 257,000 subscribers. That just continues Sprint's trend of bleeding customers to the competition, and we doubt this balance sheet will turn around anytime soon -- not only will next quarter reflect the $483m purchase of Virgin Mobile USA"

They may not have had as huge losses as before but still huge losses

I wonder how inaccurate the loss of customers is though if all these numbers were close to true sprint still wouldn't be number 3 or 4 and wouldn't have the money to buy other companies like virgin mobile and they themselves would have been taken over by verzion by now if sprint's bleeding was as bad as everyone says. I dont feel like I am on a sinking ship right now it feels afloat.. in need of repair but afloat.

the pre was out for the last month of the quarter, highly doubtful you can maintain that a stance of "omg sprint is teh sux0rz" applies to a small amount of time.

ll say the same thing as the other thread on this in the "news" section...

instinct just came out with a 2nd gen device, why another----and the instinct IS not WINMO to an above post...

also the samsung m330--came out yrs ago, just after the apache, it was an international phone...

and since when does a carrier release 8+ phones on the same day??? the pic shows 6, then talks about iden devices coming out on same day... theres been no new FCC cleared iden devices for a minute, ya know?

itll get here when it gets here... andhopefully it takes forever honestly... u guys are gonna blow this place up with threads on it... especially on how to scam one for free cuz most are too cheap to actually pay for something nice..

Lets hope that Sprint does not delay with their releases

Thats not how businesses work...a business could be completely bankrupt and still operate for at least a year. Just cause they are bleeding doesn't mean they are dead, they still have a huge amount of net worth, and when they use money they obviously hope to gain out by increasing coverage and etc.

Sprint though is still loosing customers and thats that. They are recovering here and there but that is not enough as they need to stay competitive if they wish to grow.

i dont know the numbers, but sprint exceeded their sales expectations for the PRE, atleast as far as the launch went..
