"Sprint has sold 4.5 million iphones since they signed the contract with Apple last October". With 1.5 million iphones sold per quarter Sprint is on pace to to make this investment a + rather than a -. With the iPhone 5 possibly coming soon, you think Sprint is going to sell less Iphones?

Sprint stocks is almost at $5 a share too btw. Was at $2.50 last year. I think theyre finally getting over that WiMax fail.
awhh WiMax... smh... in 10 years we'll be looking back like "remember wimax LOL" (most people wont)

I will be switching from Sprint next year, me and 5 of my friends at my job have Sprint and we barely get a signal for the past 2 months. Called Sprint 3 times and they fix it then it goes out again. I use my phone most work and im on wifi when I get home so I could care less about unlimited data if can't even access the damn internet. Sad cause I been with Sprint for almost 10 years :(

If you only knew all the stuff going on behind the curtains. Lets just say: Theres a reason signal has dropped in the past 3 months BUT Theres a reason Sprint's stocks have doubled in the past 3 months.
Your signal will be bad for a while but its temporary, and well worth it.

As 305Bucko mentioned, Sprint is re-building all of their networks from the ground up. Some markets have already been upgraded, others will be upgraded in the coming months to faster 3G, LTE, HD Voice and eventually VoLTE. Sprint is future-proofing their network, something other carriers will have to do eventually and dont have the spectrum capacity Sprint / Clearwire has. This time next year they will have one of the strongest, fastest, highest capacity nationwide networks.
As far as the article, this is good news for Sprint, paying down debt early, they are adding new customers, the iPhone is selling well, a strong Android portfolio and Network Vision is the last missing piece of the puzzle. Now is the time to buy Sprint stock.
