Even though this should be filed under “highly unlikely,” it’s interesting to note how investor and analysts are thinking that something needs to be changed inside the US’ number three carrier. Earlier in July, we’ve had similar rumor involving Korean SK Telecom as a potential acquirer of Sprint/Nextel, and now it’s British BT Group who emerged in the same role.
There’s no doubt Sprint could use a solid partner to pursue its WiMAX plans, it’s just that we don’t see neither BT nor SK Telecom filling those shoes. Too bad we didn’t knew this rumor us coming, otherwise we would buy Sprint’s stock which rose over 3.5 percent reacting to the speculation.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
