This article doesn't surprise me considering Engadget's constant Iphone/GSM hardons. I guess Engadget must be desperate for hits. If the author would have done any sort of research he would've found out that 3300 cellsites are not "nearly all" of Sprint Nextel's cell sites. At last count they operate over 24000 cell sites. Oh yeah, I won't be the first and I won't be the last to say: if you look up "bias" in the dictionary you'll find Engadget's logo right next to it.

lol you guys are completely right and im foolish because i get almost all of my info from engadget mobile and even only looking at engadget stuff i can see they are always hating on sprint for no reason.

THANK YOU!!!!


The Nextel deal gave Sprint near 20,000 TOWERS alone - and, I should throw in that Sprint has been diligently adding CDMA to those towers, and getting prepped to turn off the iDen.

THANK YOU from me too!

When there isn't news about a new CDMA phone coming out for a few months, Engadget seems to actually forget that there is such a thing as CDMA. CDMA doesn't matter because there aren't any CDMA iPhones. Watch their HTC Raphael reporting, for example. They initially admitted it was CDMA and then prompty forgot. Now it's only known as the HTC Touch Pro -- the GSM flavor.

Also notice how they conveniently didn't mention this part of the article:
"The company has seen a bit of a rebound lately, particularly with the hot-selling Samsung Instinct. Sprint is expected to announce an improved customer turnover rate for the second quarter."

I took your suggestion of looking it up, and found that you were 100% right. Thanks!
