Sprint is great for people who have grandfathered plans and can use the sprint TV, games etc. on its fast network. Not to mention cheaper family data plans than the comp. But Sprint's great network is useless without a phone that serves our needs. And I simply have not seen a phone that can do what the iphone does plus easily integrates with the rest of my Apple home. Yes I've drunk the coolaid.
If sprint does not get an iphone deal this summer (or open it's network to outside phones) the hemmoraging will continue and they will be sold within a couple of years.
Sprint has actually been pretty decent in the past years. They were first with the Touch Pro, first with the Touch Pro 2, and got on board with Android pretty quickly.
I'm just annoyed that I can't add an Android device to my $30/month SERO
I think the EVO will be "game changing" - if Sprint can get enough 4G coverage, they'll have a headstart that'll last for 2-3 years.
Sadly, at the end of the day, all that doesn't mean much if you travel to Europe as there are still no GSM/EVDO Android devices
