I think they'll manage to stay afloat, but it's not going to help them win any wars against the other carriers. Too little too late has been Sprint's way of life for too long.

The 1900mhz isn't as bad as the 2500 that they use now for WiMax, but it's certainly not as good as the 800ish that others are using. Sprint will need to start using their 800 band pretty fast, because otherwise, the average customer is going to think "hmm...Sprint's 4G sucks compared to AT&T's and Verizon's." Not that they don't already think that, but still.
