Re: Sprint Touch Pro 2 Release Date Sept 6TH Per Sprint Corp

This is to the person who said Sprint is doing well, so results are in

Quote:
Still managing to skirt the ever-present how many Palm Pres has the company sold question, Sprint reported its Q2 2009 results this morning. While the company did post a slightly bigger loss than expected, it wasn?t the bone crushing declines we?ve seen from Old Yeller in recent history. Operating revenue came in at $8.1 billion, down 10 percent YoY and just short of the Street?s $8.12 billion projection, and it posted a net loss of $384 million or $0.13 per share, down 12 percent from $344 million in the same quarter last year. The part that?s really hard to swallow here is that despite the release of the Palm Pre, one of the most highly anticipated handsets of the year, Sprint still managed to shed 257,000 subscribers net in the quarter, up from 187,000 in Q1. Its subscriber count now stands at 48.8 million. The shocking part ? Sprint lost 991,000 postpaid subscribers this past quarter, meaning the bleeding has barely slowed in this crucial category. If the Palm Pre, endless time spent improving customer service, vastly improved network quality and some amazingly attractive plans can?t keep subscribers on board, what can?
See sprint doesn't understand anything at all...They can't bet on 1 phone for half the entire year...people want choices!!!

I went down to a Sprint store yesterday..funny story..saw 2 people ask for a Touch Pro 2..but they didn't know how it looks like so the agent look up finds a Touch Pro and sells them it and they buy it lol

Anyways back on track...In the sprint store there is NO CHOICE AT ALL...like 15 black berries and 10 other phones which are all crap(and look the same)...how about a decent line up...

I mean, isn't their goal to try to make you want to upgrade and renew your contract? when you walk it all feels like same crap...

that said..GIVE US TOUCH PRO 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
