Well, I have officially lost ALL faith in Sprint. What a loser company.

So in the meantime, LISTEN TO MY SHOW, TRANCECAST!...

A loser company? Sprint? Ya think?!?

I noticed a couple weeks ago that all the Sprint kiosks at the local mall had been abandoned. The stuff is all still there, but they haven't been manned in, by now, at least a couple of months. The other day I also noticed that the local Sprint store is also closed, sign taken down, gone. Except for a repair office, that means there's no more Sprint presence in this area as far as I know. Or care. I wonder if we're finally seeing the death throes of this dump of a company?

I should hope not. Without price competition, consumers lose. If Sprint goes away then there is no pressure on VzW to bring prices down. I was with VzW for about a decade paying their exorbitant prices. Without Sprint SERO I wouldn't have a data plan.

Sprint has MANY flaws, but pricing isn't one of them. Neither is their data network, blows away VzW.

Plus, many of you have short term memories. Don't forget that Sprint released this phone at least 6 months earlier than VzW who kept jerking their customers around with "we're still testing it..." Still testing it? VzW finally releases it in December.... and it's still got a bug ridden ROM from August! LMAO. At least by then Sprint had already released the 2.17 ROM which addressed the alarm wake up, KB, and other issues that VzW customers were then just dealing with.

If you know anything about business and free markets, you'd better hope Sprint doesn't go away. They're not perfect, but at least they offer another choice to VzW.

Looks like I was right to not have any hope!

TC1, I completely agree. I'm on SERO, and before that Verizon. I'm really happy with the pricing plan, and I wish Sprint and HTC would release a stable ROM ASAP. But I'm just as happy with the developer community for this phone.

+1 on this. Im on SERO too having jumped from VZW. I imagine VZW Vs. SPCS as Intel Vs. AMD

Wow...just the other day half the people on this thread were "hip hip hooraying" Sprint for having the possibility of this actually coming out. Now that it didn't Sprint suddenly became the worst cellular carrier in the world... I wasn't really holding my breath on this. If it came out good...if not then guess I'll wait some more.

Ok THAT was crewl...

I sent email to HTC and Sprint and got two different answers:

What I sent:
"Question: Your web site says that the update for the Mogul will be out early 1Q 2008. That time has passed. Can you please post the real date?

This phone would be really great if it would actually do what it said it would when I bought it. I paid $550 for something that still doesn't work after 6 months. This is frustrating at the least. I hope this will work before my warranty runs out."

What Sprint Said:
"Thank you for contacting Sprint. We apologize for any inconvenience and we are sorry that you are frustrated.

The information we have regarding the Mogul update is a release date of 1Q 2008. This could be anytime between now and the end of March. The beta version of the update is currently being tested by HTC's test users - if no additional issues are discovered in testing, we would expect a release date of early March.

Thank you again for contacting Sprint. We appreciate your business."

What HTC said:
"We know it is important for you to have all the information about our latest updates. We regret to inform you that the information Sprint representatives have provided you with is incorrect. All updates for cell phone branded devices have to be reprogrammed by Sprint engineers for use with their version of the OS. Sprint may provide feedback to you via SMS when the update is ready. Please continue to check our web page for the update.

Thank you for your patience and for contacting HTC."


Looks like March ((((((((
