Re: What's wrong with Sprint?
said by BF69  :so does mine. Did I say Spint was "bad"? no I said they have far fewer cusotmers and thus making an exclusive deal with them makes little sense if you goal is to attract as many customers as possible. This is what you said earlier in this thread.
said by BF69 :Um let's see. LESS customers. Who cares how great the serivce is if you can't get it. I can't get Sprint in my area. They don't seem in hurry to want me as a customer. So Verizon gets my business. You implied Sprint did not care about you simply because they chose not to service your area and that Verizon does.
As for the exclusive part, it's all about most bang for the buck. Verizon had the opportunity for the iPhone but said no because they wanted more money than Apple was willing to let go. They went to ATT and that seems to have paid off since half of the number ports to the iPhone were from Verizon.
»Half Of New iPhone Owners Came From Verizon
Imagine what would have happened if the iPhone went to Sprint.
T-Mobile has already signed with Danger (their Sidekick line which is now owned by Microsoft) and with Google and Android (with their G1 phone.) All carriers have Blackberries to a point as well as an assortment of Windows Mobile phones. If this new thing takes off, it could go well for Sprint and Palm. |
