Sprint to supply non-phone gadgets with Internet

What the heck does this have to do with AT&T? You hits just throw AT&T into every sentence now. And by the way, what happened to Verizon's open source thingy back into 2008? It was such a huge success that no one has ever what happened with that. This is all crap to me. Spring is just trying to raise prestige for the Palm Pre. I doubt iris a coincidence that they decide to do this 3 months before the expected release of the pre. Sprint has been one of the weakest carriers in terms of number of customers for a long time now so why now with the big news? It's kind of funny how sprint was like invisible for months and now there are two articles (back to back I think) on sprint and it's call quality and it's future plans. It's just raising hype for the Palm Pre. They've already got people saying crap like spring will replace Att worth just this article so I guess their subtle and clever form of advertising is working pretty well.

Dude, calm down, I totally get what you're saying, but there are always going to be fanboys talking smack about the other wireless companies; its a message board. But, with this Sprint news being a marketing ploy, it wouldn't surprise me. The majority of ppl are sheep, so they'll pretty much follow anything.

Remove the iphone and ATT is a fish living in a poisoned lake. It may still be alive, but you wouldn't want to eat it.

haha...imagine if verizon got the iphone instead of at&t...

There's no denying that they dont' have the subscribers as VZW or ATT, but not being in the news? Their everything plan seems to have shaken things up. Competition is good, it helps out us consumers.

who even brought up the pre? and how has sprint been invisible the past few months it seems u are extremly out of the loop in the wireless industry. did mommy buy u a iphone for christmas? and know u think you know something about wireless. sprint offering its wireless service is something they have been talking about since 4q 2008 and is already being offered for several products.any yes it is big news that they are pushing it out to more medians. its going to change alot in the wireless industry. while i agree heavy breathing comments are a bit off, your rant on sprint and the pre sounds just as uneducated and useless

oh wow, I didn't know I sounded mad. I use "what the heck" a lot when someone says something stupid, but I didn't mean to sound angry. But I still think I'm kind of right. I'm just saying that Sprint hasn't really been there with Verizon, AT&T, and T-mobile. And I was watching television with my brother one day when he all of a sudden said, "Oh wow, a Sprint commericial." I don't want to sound like I'm mad or anything, so I'll just say that I'm expecting a lot of advertising and good publicity for Sprint, because that's what they have to do to remove the negative opinions that are for some reason always attached to the company. And when I said invisible, I didn't mean they actually disappeared (I have to say that because someone might actually take it seriously). I mean that they have been a little overshadowed. I just wanted to say what I was thinking, I hope I'm not sounding too bitter.

would u like to elaborate

examples would be over-extending their network which results in slower speeds, etc.

sprint will never pass at&t or verizon in terms of customers or cell coverage

16. htsee posted on 24 Mar 2009, 16:45 0

Customers, yeah. cell coverage? This isn't the year 2000. Their voice coverage has been very good recently. Their data coverage is top notch. CDMA will always have better call/data quality and coverage when compared to GSM.

18. insider80 posted on 24 Mar 2009, 17:07 0

i agree with customer base but coverage your way off sprints voice is better than at&t's and data has far surpassed both at&t and verizon. due some research before u post your opinion

20. vzw fanman posted on 24 Mar 2009, 22:21 0

verizon has best us coverage hands down, i have no clue what your talking about insider80

24. musiqlives posted on 25 Mar 2009, 07:20 0

Thank you insider80! It seems so many VW & AT&T customers are ashamed to admit that fact. I would much rather have a better (the best!) data connections. I don't know very many people that talk more than they check email, Facebook, twitter, view stocks & look up information on google, yahoo, MSN, ect. And as far as Sprint cell coverage goes, most sprint plans include roaming. So if you happen to be in some back ally hick town thats not on any map. Chances are you'll pick up something.

if you read my post i didnt say sprints voice coverage was better than verizon i said it was better than at&t but sprint DATA network is better than verizons

26. vzw fanman posted on 25 Mar 2009, 10:53 0

define better

27. DonLouie posted on 25 Mar 2009, 14:11 0

Better because it cost less

28. insider80 posted on 25 Mar 2009, 14:13 0

and because its about 5 times faster

29. vzw fanman posted on 25 Mar 2009, 14:59 0

i would rather have voice and 3g coverage wherever i go, instead of caring about the price or speeds. i use bolt browser on the storm and i couldnt ask for faster internet, every page loads sooo much faster than the blackberry browser. look at ny state. everywhere there is voice coverage there is 3g. even up in the boonies!! also look at cali or florida. verizon ftw
