|  Why would Google hitch their wagon to a boat anchor ??
Google is very unlikely to purchase Sprint. Sprint is damaged goods and will be very expensive to keep running. Google's shareholders would look unkindly on such a deal and could beat down Google's share price if a takeover is ever seriously pursued.
Given Google's open source Android collaboration, the desire to tie in to one vendor doesn't make any sense. |

| Why this article even contemplates Sprint just shows the obvious bias this site has for sprint and their blind love affair with a shitty company.
I think it is safe to say that the Sprint that this site is so in love with died years ago when they purchased Nexthell. |

I think the latter scares me more.

1 edit | Well that and the fact that wireless carrier is all personal opinion these days. Just because AT&T works best for you out in X area doesn't mean thats the case where I live.
Sprint in my area gives pretty much identical coverage as Verizon (even a little better) and for those "in the know" we get 500mins & unlimited txts, 7pm n&w, and unlimited EVDO data (which I can tether thank you very much) for $30 a month.
So I wouldn't say this site is in love, they just realize Sprint has the best data network right now (ie no caps) for the cheapest cost - and their investing in new wireless technologies all the time.
So go back to your iphone @ 100kbps average and I'll be sitting here @ 600kbps on my MotoQ for $30/month. |

| Jerm ,
My experience was very similar to yours. My Sprint service was wonderful. The coverage was the same as my Verizon service, but the calls were clearer.
The only thing that led me away from Sprint, is that as a customer of Nextel and then Sprint for YEARS, never having been late, never missing a payment, good overall credit (just bought a house), they REFUSED to allow me add an additional line to my account.
Verizon had no trouble giving me a family plan, although it was more expensive than the comparable Sprint plan. |

That is very odd that they wouldn't give you a phone. In fact I normally have heard it the other way around that Sprint will give a dog credit and Verizon wants $1000 deposits. Can understand why you left. But Jerm is correct, being this is Broadbandreports.com that Sprint is obviously the favorite for now  |
