[quote=budney;1066009]I would like to see Sprint complete absorb VM. A no contract option with Sprint's phones and plans would be nice. quote]

Even if they were able to buy the entire company I doubt they would sell the contract service phones for the prepaid service. The prepaid phones are inexpensive to accomodate people that need/want a cell phone but don't have much money to put towards it. Putting phones out that cost hundreds of dollars wouldn't make much sense IMHO.
