I don't blame them. Sprint bit and the jury's still out on whether that'll end up a net gain for them or not.
Ironically: After 13 years with Sprint I may leave, soon, because, while Sprint has plenty of iPhones, they no longer carry a 'droid phone to meet my needs.

Bel Air, MD | Droid is only a Verizon name. Android is the OS.
It's a pet peeve when people get that wrong. There is no droid phones on Sprint or AT&T. Only on Verizon. They paid George Lucas to use the word Droid. |

It's a pet peeve of mine when people don't pay attention. I did not write "Droid." I wrote "'droid." It's short for "Android." I know the Droid name is VZW-only.
So, just for you: "After 13 years with Sprint I may leave, soon, because, while Sprint has plenty of iPhones, they no longer carry an Android-based phone to meet my needs."
There, happy?

| not true. VZW has a trademark on Droid period. It means - owned by VZW for the sole purpose to market their Droid brand of phones |

Since we're arguing about semantics, George Lucas owns the trademark on the Droid name, Verizon licences it to market some of their android phones |
