Starting next month, Sprint loyalists will likely be able to get their paws around the Galaxy S 4. Or, if the budget has been a bit tight, a brand new Galaxy S III. The image above has been posted by the typically-reliable evleaks, showing off a heretofore unannounced purple edition of one of Samsung's cash cows. We aren't given too many details … [Read more...]
Sprint allows its prepaid carrier partners to de-brand Android phones, rid devices of bloatware
April 1, 2013 by
In a move that could only be viewed as a step in the right direction, Sprint has just made a major move in the battle against bloatware. Its newly-unveiled Custom Branded Device Program is being introduced just as prepaid carriers are beginning to see something of a resurgence. In a nutshell, the initiative enables its MVNO partners (carriers like … [Read more...]
Ting begins ‘bring your Sprint phone’ program, lures you to the contract-free side
December 27, 2012 by
Ting, a curiously structured MVNO utilizing Sprint's network, has a pretty interesting pricing structure. For ridiculously light users, it's bound to save some dough, but heavier users may not fare so well. For those who've yet to hop on the myriad other MNVO networks that tap into Sprint's infrastructure, Ting is now inviting those with Sprint … [Read more...]
Sprint sits out Windows Phone 8 launch in the United States after tepid WP7 reaction
November 3, 2012 by
Microsoft may be readying an all-out marketing blitz to get Windows Phone 8 all up in your cranium, but those loyal to Sprint won't be getting anything but perturbed. During today's Windows Phone 8 event in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced that AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile were "all in" for Windows Phone 8. Strangely, … [Read more...]
Sprint Guardian now available, allows parents to limit texting and keep tabs on a kid’s location

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE user guide slips out, tells you what you already know
May 13, 2012 by
Whether or not Sprint's version of HTC's One X is indeed shipping on May 18th remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: it'll almost definitely hit store shelves prior to Sprint's LTE network going live. Following the Galaxy Nexus' footsteps in that regard, the EVO 4G LTE seems to have no shame in its game, and the 219 page user manual has … [Read more...]
Sprint tries the subsidized netbook thing again with WiMAX-infused IdeaPad S205s
April 16, 2012 by
Note to everyone: subsidized netbooks aren't a relic. Not quite yet, anyway. In what has to be one of the more bizarre launches of the year, Sprint has seemingly decided it wise to launch a $ 199.99 netbook with a mandatory two-year data contract, and better still, the 4G module within favors WiMAX. Just weeks after Sprint affirmed that it was … [Read more...]
Sprint iPhone officially announced: iPhone 4 and 4S both on the way

Regardless of whether Sprint dropped $ 20 billion, or just the right combination of phrases to the right combination of people, Dan Hesse finally (finally!) has an iPhone to call his own. Despite The Now Network's stellar lineup of Android devices (and that increasingly valuable Everything plan), Sprint's been struggling to gain postpaid … [Read more...]
Sprint Strategy Update coming on October 7th, significant 4G plans likely to be unveiled
August 30, 2011 by
Sprint's Dan Hesse told us point-blank back in July that he was penning a "great story around 4G" for this fall, and it looks as if October 7th will be the date that it "all becomes clear." We just received an invitation to quite the atypical event -- a "strategy update" for the press to cover in New York City. All we're told is that presentations … [Read more...]
Sprint posts Q2 2011 earnings: net subs up, contract subs down, net loss of $847 million
July 29, 2011 by
It's another mixed bag worth of earnings for the folks in Overland Park. Sprint just announced its Q2 2011 earnings prior to the market's open today, and while it's obviously doing its darnedest to paint a rosy picture, the raw numbers show a somewhat different backdrop. Despite having its third consecutive quarter of adding more than one million … [Read more...]
