I remember reading an article yesturday that they were in talks about merging....I don't know how I feel about this -- as a longtime Nextel user and sort of an anti-Sprint person....I don't know how to feel about this or how this will effect me...I wish I could learn more about this but searches online are leaving me empty handed right now....

Edit: I just got off the phone with Nextel as this is really concerning me -- I asked the person I was on the phone about it and he said "I really can't speculate but I have heard the same thing too" so I asked him what that would mean for Nextel custumers and he put me on hold. Upon returning he told me that he really doesn't know because it's just a rumor right now....so I guess all I can do is sit and wait and continue contemplating about switching to Verizon Wireless although i'm content with Nextel now....
