i dont really like apple but seriously, of course they feel the need to say hey look at me, they are a business. more publicity means more products sold which means more money, lol i dont understand how that would be a bad thing for a company to get more coverage. and as far as sprint being content "flying under the radr" well if thats their plan is pretty stupid for lack of a better word. why would a company that has been bleeding customers/profits for a couple years now want their flagship product to be under the radar. the fact that you didnt see commercials till after release is really poor marketing thats not something they should be proud of. maybe they shouldve left the evo in a bar

Sure, but word of mouth is just as good if not better than news coverage. Main Stream Media didn't cover any of the EVO launch and they're STILL sold out...

well, I was mostly referring to the news and main stream media radar... again, the fact that they continue to be sold out everywhere is a testament to how well they're doing even while the media is worshiping at the Altar of Jobs...

The media always feeds lies to the public....lol....it is our job as consumers to investigate on our own...other thing is I could really care less one way or the other,....unless I had stock in either company...dont know why anyone would care unless they directly benefit from the company...
