I'm sure the iPhone 5, iPhone 4Steve Jobs Memorial Edition, or whatever they're going to call it would be pooled into Sprint's initial iPhone purchase commitment.

Sprint has history of making poor decisions. Verizon's tiered data pricing is actually more expensive than some of their current plans, even for minimal data using lines. Basically tiered data is forcing consumers to pay more $$$ for same service.

Now, once ATT follows Verizon, it will only be matter of time before sprint realizes that, users are going to NEED data plans and Sprint cant milk more money out by doing so. And it will be done.

Its just matter of time. Because thus far, the whole EVERYTHING PLAN lineup has been a massive fail, because the plan structure in itself has done nothing to save sprint. Its been Evo, iPhone that has brought people back to Sprint. So after all these years of no revenue from these plans, Sprint actually needs to a move in a direction which will make them some money from Plans, Phones, Addons, etc.

I would guess that the company will go toes up before that. Say, 2 years.

I think the only way the shared plan cost more compared to their current plan is if the customer currently has the 75MB or pay as you go option on their phones. For 2GB's and above it should be cheaper

When will people like you realize and wake up its not the plans, its the phones.

The only thing keeping Sprint alive now, are the HTC EVO line and the success the EVO 4G had. Sprint needs to secure the next big Google Nexus exclusive device.

And Do ALOT like never before ads with the iPhone 5, side by side, Blue at&t Red Verizon and Yellow Sprint and do some bar graphs of how much Data Useage a LTE iPhone 5 will cost on each carrier.

Ads like this but really pushing iPhone 5

and have an ad of people rushing and lining up at Sprint stores like mobs of people running, while the people at the at&t and Verizon stores get their pockets and wallets picked clean of cash.

So let me get this straight... having the best phones from all manufacturers, great advertisement and crapy rate plans + service, will make Sprint better ???


Compared to how Sprint was before, they actually have decent lineup of phones - They have Evo lineup for Android and iPhone. They do offer a couple of Blackberries and a Windows phone.

Many want an iPhone, which Sprint has now. Others that want an Android have sufficient choice with Sprint.

When will people like you realize that Sprint needs to CHANGE everything that has not generated any money ???
