Re: Does Sprint want the iPhone? Their actions make it seem like so!
what seems more feasible is Sprint gearing up for an iPhone 5. Producing millions of Sprint branded 4s seems pretty stupid at this point, they want that insane A5 dual-core phone to go along with the Android and 7 line-up. It would be a very smart move on their part to get in on this, because VZW is going to take a lot of Sprint customers with their iPhone.

Even with the popularity of Android, I still hear people clamoring for iPhones.

Re: Does Sprint want the iPhone? Their actions make it seem like so!
Hells to the no...
My wife might want one eventually... But not likely... My her two brothers who both have the iPhone are going to Sprint and they are getting the EVO. Which means they will most likely stay on Android as they are not Windows guys and they are tired of apple. My wife has the EVO Shift now and LOVES it. So not likely either. Unless her sisters get an iPhone which is also unlikely as both their birthdays are coming up and since their husbands copy me when it comes to gift giving... The two sisters will likely also get EVO Shifts.
So that's a big NO from a small sampling of the AZTECHKA kind.
So to summarize...
Me - no (Android waiting for WP7 phone of my liking)
Wife - no (Android will most likely be android for life LOL)
Wife's Brother #1 - no (Going Android from iPhone)
Wife's Brother #1's wife - Probably yes (Has iPhone and LOVES it)
Wife's Brother #2 - no (Going Android from iPhone)
Wife's Brother #2's girlfriend - Most likely no (Has iPhone likely will get Android)
Wife's Father- no (Likes basic phones)
Wife's Sister #1- no (Will get Android cuz her husband is a copy cat)
Wife's Sister #1's husband - no (He's all about the Nextel for work)
Wife's Sister #2 - no (Will probably also get Android as her husband is too)
Wife's Sister #2's husband- no (He has basic texting phone... Not likely to step up.
My Mom - Nope... Nextel free chirp to Mexico FTW.
My Sister #1- Not on Sprint and has basic texting phone... Not iPhone type. Same for her family...
My Sister #2- no Has EVO- Will stay on Android
My Sister #2's son - Has Android phone and will stay on android
My sister #3 - no has Android phone will stay on Android
My sister#3's husband... Not on sprint- will stay with basic texting phone.
My oldest son - NO... Hates apple- Want's windows phone may get swayed by Android
My second oldest son- No Has basic texting phone wants EVO Shift.

Everyone else is not on sprint or coming to Sprint.
So not worth mentioning.

Is this official yet? It doesn't sound like the impossible being possible to me nor does it seem like a first in the industry (as per their totally crappy flyer)

Re: Does Sprint want the iPhone? Their actions make it seem like so!
If Sprint is smart they will wait and get the iPhone 5 and let VZW and AT&T stick with the iPhone and all its problems. I dont think I would switch to an iPhone. I am considering switching to a Windows 7 or the next Palm device as a Bday gift to myself since its coming up. I like that "hackablity" of WebOS and Android. Loving Android after leaving the Palm Pre. Glad to have a memory card back. I'd rather pay $200-400 for a phone and get a bigger memory card then pay way more to get an iPhone with 32GB of storage. Apple and got to get on board with allowing memory cards. But they wont because they are forcing people to buy larger storage iPhones.

If its a 4 I would get it for my wife. If its an iphone 5 I would compare it to one of the htc dual core phones that will be out soon and then make my decision. Only way I would definitely get it is if I am able to do wifi tethering without paying extra. Otherwise I will stick with an unlocked android phone. All I know is if the rumors are true, wp7 better step it up soon.
