The magnet on the touchstone holds the phone VERY well. I just tested mine and it will hold the phone upside down and i can jostle it quit a bit before the magnet lets go.
The real question for Sprint is, How many new customers signed up VS how many were simply upgrading their device? New customers are far more valuable than simply upgrading existing customers. Id say way less than half were new customers from my experience in store on Saturday morning, and thats really a sad launch. They might break even this month on customer defections from Nextel/Sprint to Verizon/ATT/tmobile.
This is a creative tactic by Sprint to lay-off employees without a direct announcement. Ship 7,000 employees to Ericcson, who can then evaluate who they need and dont need and cut the fat.
I recently left Sprint, and know that all my ex-coworkers are ALL trying to leave. That ship is sinking. All the talented workers that made that company great have left or are trying to leave. Why would anyone work for a company that is so obviously hurting?
Sprint isnt going down. They are on the way to turning things around. They still have over 50 million customers...thats far from "going down soon" lol.
Its up on the sprint website for sale as of midnight!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
