Re: Bad news for Sprint...

So here's how it goes:

Google buys Sprint.......ditches most if not all of the "dumb phone" lineup.......creates a lineup of "smart" devices available with your choice of Android or WinMo.......Samsung, HTC.....maybe BlackBerry and/or LG.........people flock from the other carriers to sign up for Google Mobile Technologies......another step in Google taking over the world...........

A look into todays future:

"Engadget Mobile and BGR are reporting that at todays Sprint Developers Conference, key note speaker Rich Miner announced that Google will be conducting a buyout of the the flailing company(Sprint) and plans to unleash a new arsenal of Android powered smart devices after the new year."

Just consider the possibilities............

EDIT: THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED.....IT IS ONLY A SCENARIO.....

A manager at a T-Mobile store aught to know. NOT

Right...with news like that one would wonder why Sprint is down yet again today. 1.99
I think you are looking into a crystal ball.
