Sprint has just announced it’s moving away from offering unlimited plans for all devices but phones starting today. The shift will take the form of new tiered data plans that are in-line with what’s available for AT&T and Verizon. Sprint will be issuing 6GB for $50 per month and 12 GB for $80 per month…
Finally, after waiting for well over a year, customers of Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G will receive their fix of Gingerbread (Android 2.3). The Now Network announced on its Twitter page that users can expect the update to start rolling out over-the-air sometime today. The update to Gingerbread will add some much-needed improvements. This version of the Android…
We already know Amazon Wireless is offering the HTC Evo 3D or 50 bucks. Now the online retailer is running the same deal for the plum version of the 3D screen-equipped device. Of course, in addition to $49.99, you’ll also have to put your signature on a two-year Sprint contract, but that’s like given these.…
In an interview with Forbes, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse managed to slide in a compliment for the iPhone, now that he actually likes it. Don’t be fooled by its seemingly kind nature. This is a double-whammy compliment, because while it may praise Apple, it secretly slams AT&T and Verizon in a brilliant way. Hesse claims…
Sprint’s Vice President of Network Development and Engineering, Iyad Tarazi, told attendees at the 4G World conference that during the first half of 2013 they’re going to launch an LTE-Advanced network. Said network will be using the 800 MHz band—so it’ll penetrate through walls easier and also have a greater range using fewer towers—and 20…
Sprint today announced results from its third quarter that were a mixed bag of both good and bad. The Now Network added nearly 1.3 million net subscribers in the third quarter, but 485,000 of those were prepaid, and 835,000 were wholesale or affiliate subscribers. So, Sprint technically only added 304,000 subscribers (these subscribers are postpaid, new two-year activations).…
Good ol’ Amazon is offering the brand new HTC EVO Design 4G for just $29.99. That’s full 70% off (or “$70 less” whatever sounds better) Sprint’s price of $99.99. Needless to say, you’ll also have to put your signature on a new two-year contract to get the phone. On the other hand, if you’re upgrading…
Sprint has just announced it will carry the Samsung Transform Ultra, a phone which The Now Network had unveiled a month ago on its prepaid brand Boost Mobile. The phone packs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sprint ID, and includes a 1GHz processor, 3.5-inch HVGA display, and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It’s pretty much identical to the…
Color me happy as hell. After watching the Galaxy Nexus announcement and then hearing that there will only be LTE and HSPA+ versions of the handset, Sprint availability seemed unlikely. Even before I saw the handset, I knew I wanted it on Sprint and according to the picture you see above, the possibility is looking…
Sprint just killed unlimited 4G data from its mobile hotspot plans, which means the few reasons to go with Sprint in the first place are becoming smaller. It also means that if you’re looking to sign up for new service for a mobile hotspot, there really is no reason to choose Sprint over Verizon, whose…
