If i subscribe do i get even more typos? I cant wait!!!

Sprint Nextel Corp.'s (S) new smartphone is a hit, just not quite as much as the company said earlier.
The company said Tuesday it inadvertently inflated the first-day sales of its new HTC Evo 4G startphone, although the demand for the phone was still much higher ...

And since we can only read the headline and first 2 sentences its actually quite misleading. Sprint did not "lie". They mistated the results. Instead of the Evo selling 3 times as many units as the instinct and pre COMBINED they have revised their statement to 6 times as many instincts and 2 times the pre. They also revised the statement to say that the evo's launch date sales are in line with the instinct and pre's COMBINED total for 3 days.

Still a very strong showing.

This makes sense. Im starting to think dude is really just a disgruntled tp2 user over here spreading negativity. ALL of his posts are negative about the evo in one way or another.
