Yes, but anything uniting with Google should face an Antitrust lawsuit :D

how so? they are just combining web searching on their phones to better access each others services. Its not like the two companies are merging to create a monopoly... : P

Yes, I was, of course, joking :) But thanks for clearing it so that people like the "anonymous" guy get it too.

Google's making a huge mistake dealing with a sinking ship called Sprint, they should've partnered with Verizon instead.

You dont see verizon stepping up to the plate??? nights still at 9!!! thats was over and done with in the 90's. Verizon is still behind in the times there data is ok but they dont have phone as a modem sprint is just keeping up with the changing times dont see any walkie talkie servis yet from verizon??? they tried but fald badly! Sprint is going to get even bigger and be better then then verizon just look at the deal they made today with ClearWire. and Q chat comming out in less then a month. SPRINT GET ON IT!

In contrast, Verizon is not sinking, it's just never been on the surface with their stupid cdma...

Some of you guys that post on here really need to take some English lessons, or at least use a spell checker. Sprint has come a long way, they're voice and data service will surpass Verizon as long as the can get pass all these set backs. These partnership will definitely give them a hand. Also with the release of their new phones and cheaper plans. They will remain a top contender. Do some research and learn to blog with some proper English.

Only people that go to sprint are people with bad credit and can't get on verizon's network. Sprint will allow anybody into there network. The people that compain about verizon had a 400 dollar deposit.
