in 4 days you can get 4G, walk into Best Buy and get the Sprint 4G adapter for free (with a new line ofcourse)

and any device that uses Wi-Fi is now a 4G device
-including your Apple Iphone

Touch Pro2 4G anyone?

Sprint has exclusivity on the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi

Sprint also has exclusivity on the HTC Hero (Sprint)
-yet hot on its heels comes the HTC Eris (Verizon Hero)

Just remember..

On the front of ppcgeeks news page is says tmobile and att are ready for hspa 7.2. That means no new phones are needed and they will be only a little bit slower then wimax. If tmobile coverage was more expanded it would be an easier choice, but if you have great tmobile service in your area then its a great choice.

T-Mobile also said they'll have their upgrade to 21 meg HSPA+ complete in mid 2010. So they have 7.2 right now, and 21 in a few months. And here they are announcing all the hottest devices, with plans that are cheaper than Sprint's, and no contracts required, and even interest free financing on devices if you want. With the freedom to pop your SiM card nto whatever device you want with no calling customer service or paying an activation fee or any of that other crap.

If they really do buy Sprint, I hope they stay T-Mobile instead of trying to become Sprint...

Too bad Sprint's Wimax coverage is limited to only a couple of cities. And too bad nobody wants to carry around a backpack full of devices.

I'm not interested in a WiFi router. I already have that on my smartphone. I'm interested in a better smartphone than the one I currently have. And I can turn it into a WiFi router and carry a backpack full of devices if I want to. But I won't want to if my one device already does it all anyway.

It's been all over the net for a couple years now. Surely you have to have read that rumor at some point in the past...

I wouldn't have even considered it given my own personal experience, but that was 7 years ago. Reading and debating with SaltyDawg had me reconsidering until I rechecked the map and discovered that I'm still SOL on anything but EDGE and even some of that is roaming around me.

Although the merger would be hell I would have to agree. Keeping the Sprint name after the Nextel merger was one of the dumbest things they did when Nextel was recognized for better customer service and overall customer satisfaction.

I'm not too concerned about the HD2. I knew there was no way Sprint was announcing it. I'm totally shocked that sprint didn't announce ANYTHING though. I thought for sure they would at least announce a WM6.5 upgrade for the Touch Pro 2. But all of that aside, I knew there was virtually no chance Sprint was getting the HD2.

Oh well. I was never planning on getting the HD2 anyway. Now if that sucker had a keyboard and tilting screen, I'd be trying to preorder it the second they would let me. But a virtual keyboard won't do it for me.

Still, wow. Sprint hypes up this event, schedules it right after Ballmer's, watches while the entire tech blogosphere speculates about the joint Sprint/Microsoft press event, and then BAM- Ballmer announes a T-Mobile exclusive (that many Sprint customers were hoping for- it's the hottest topic on Sprint's own message boards) at said event and Sprint just brings a tv chef. Unfreakingbelievable. Has there ever been more incompetent leadership at any company than Sprint consistently displays?

Maybe T-Mobile really is about to buy sprint and that is why Sprint went all out to market getting bent over by them? Sprint's actions here just don't make any sense at all...

Sad. Pathetic. Fail. What the hell is Sprint thinking?
