AT&T Launches Verizon Counter-Punch Ad

Then they'd look like morons....similar to what AT&T looks like by arguing a proven fact of 3G coverage.

AT&T Launches Verizon Counter-Punch Ad

I'm with you...I've done this with pretty much every carrier I've had the last couple years.

AT&T Launches Verizon Counter-Punch Ad

And working for them doesn't hurt either does it!

Clearwire: 'Google Believes in Us'

@Nextel Accessories-and you having a login like that makes you a neutral observer??? Too funny! I believe you should probably be worried about who your next owner is! :)

Clearwire: 'Google Believes in Us'

So Titan_X, they sell Blackberry's (or similar smartphones) as well as voice devices? Come back again with your " knowledgeable" comments when you actually have something fruitful to add. Aircards alone (internal or external) do not make a mobile device.

Sprint Nextel Drawing Bearish Investors

Let's see...couldn't be because they haven't been customer add positive in over 2yrs, outsourced their entire Network team to a vendor, have horrible customer service, and are getting ready to lay off another couple thousand employees could it?

Clearwire: 'Google Believes in Us'

Do they have a mobile device...pretty simple question.

Apples to Apples: Will History Repeat Itself as Android Gains on the iPhone?

For me, it has to be a trade-off between device and carrier. I don't care how fancy or practical your device is, if it's on an inferior carrier it doesn't work. All I see on ever blog is consumers love the iPhone but hate the current carrier.

Sprint's Upcoming Phone Lineup: It Has to Do Better than That

Again, PC World is NOT a reputable publication for anything on wireless carriers (fine if you want to compare Apple vs. Microsoft). Try looking at JD Powers, Consumer Reports, Wireless Week, RCR, & many other REPUTABLE publications concerning wireless. Not a single one has Sprextel anywhere near the top in any category, unless you add customer defections.

As far as what happened in the past being relevant, I've just perused the last quarterly results for S and they're still losing customers...sounds like its not over.

Sprint's Upcoming Phone Lineup: It Has to Do Better than That

But their networks sucks! I don't care what device you use, it doesn't work well on Sprextel...ask the millions of customers they've lost the last 2yrs.

@rick12345-Nokia hasn't put out a viable/useful device since the 90's. This isn't Europe where they'll use anything.

Deutsche Telekom Likely Wants Sprint's Wireline Business, Not the Whole Company

Isn't the LMDS spectrum you refer to the 2.5Ghz spectrum that Sprextel gave to Clearwire? Wireline has been a "money losing" endeavor for quite some time, with the wireless side of specifically AT&T and Verizon the only parts of those companies making profit.

Sprint Ramps Up 4G Deployment

@goldcoast04-How in the world have you made money on their stock? I don't believe it has been much above $7 since it sold...unless I guess you bought when it was in the $3 range.

More WiMax for Smart Grid

Utilities are already using broadband to do this in a lot of major markets. It doesn't take WiMax to provide.
