Many of Sprint's troubles have been seen as a result of the Nextel acquisition. There are rumors saying that the company has hired Morgan Stanley to manage the sale of the problematic part of its business. On the other hand, Merill Lynch has suggested that Deutsche Telecom (T-Mobile) is considering buying Sprint and Nextel in order to stabilize its positions on the U.S. market, even though the combination of GSM with CDMA carrier would be kind of strange.

Who would buy just Nextel without 2.5 GHz Spectrum?

They should really come in sell each part individually. For Sale: Sprint PCS CDMA, Sprint WiMax, Nextel iDen.

How about this scenario....Nextel Partners group together and take Nextel off Sprints hands for pennies on the dollar.

I think Nextel is a good invesment...it is great for bussinesses. The Direct Connect Service is very useful. I think Sprint is just troubled. I couldn't see them together with T-Mobile..but correct me if you disagree. I think Nextel should still be with a bigger company, but the brand shouldn't be eliminated. It should still be called Nextel. I couldn't think of another company they would go with. o well...

I hope t-mobile does buy them. Reason: it would open up some healthy competition in the US. Also, it would allow customers to OPT out of their contracts and switch to other carriers. The good ones that are left...

i think t mobile and sprint could be some good next to eachother ecspecially when looking at the growth of world phones.every phone could have world capability.sprint has potential with correct management and better training of csr's and less outsourcing.nextel is just dead they should merge with ampd mobile and espn mobile for a big digital funeral!
