Rant: Sprint cans the Nexus S 4G, good riddance!

This suggest that The Now Network is clearing shelf space for the newer Galaxy Nexus that released on the carrier a few weeks ago. The Nexus S was a popular device to many, because of its unique form factor (people dug the chin), and its normal sized 4-inch AMOLED screen. Although it was popular in its day, it left many Android users with heavy heartache … Read more

This brings creditability to the rumors earlier in the week, that some blocked HTC EVO 4G LTE’s were getting through customs.

Sprint subscribers who pre-ordered the phone, started receiving notifications from the third largest cell phone provider that their device has shipped today. … Read more

While carriers have made it publicly known that they’re unhappy with how much they’re subsidizing the iPhone, don’t expect this practice to change anytime soon. According to All Things D, carriers are concerned that raising the prices consumers pay for iPhones will drive them away to alternative carriers that choose to leave the subsidy as is. Carrier trepidation makes sense when it comes to the iPhone; Apple’s smartphone beat out sales of every single other smartphone combined on the three major networks that carry the iPhone. Further, T-Mobile has recently … Read more

Sprint’s CEO Dan Hesse recently took a pay cut to offset the iPhone costs but he’s confident it will pay off. It may take a little while though. In an interview with AllthingsD, Hesse said the $15.5 billion bet Sprint is making on the iPhone should prove profitable by 2015. “We believe in the long term,” Hesse told AllthingsD. “And over time we will … Read more
