The iPad has gone on sale at Verizon and AT&T this week, but the Apple tablet has been helping Sprint all along, too. After coming up with a few clever ads showing the iPad running on 4G thanks to Sprint’s hotspot devices and combo cases (holding the iPad and mobile hotspot devices at once), it…
Sprint announced yesterday during its developers conference keynote, where we were in attendance, that Sprint ID will make its way to the Samsung Epic 4G and the Galaxy Tab. Originally, it seemed that Sprint ID was only destined for low to mid-range Android handsets like the Sanyo Zio and LG Optimus S. Perhaps users who…
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has said that Sprint will eventually shut down iDen (which it picked up with Nextel in 2004), and I’m guessing a good chunk of people might be a little annoyed by that. Hesse says that fewer customers are being added to the iDen network and more onto its CDMA network, so…
Android has been a double-edged sword for Sprint over the summer. As the carrier picked up 644,000 new subscribers thanks largely to devices like the HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G, it also managed to lose a good chunk of change due to the Android platform and its upgrade costs. More than half of…

HTC is cranking out handsets like there’s no tomorrow, and now we’re hearing the launch of the HTC Knight, which could be called the Speedy, might be early January. The image above shows cases arriving at Sprint January 6, and it would make sense to assume that the handsets will be there, too. It would…
The Samsung Galaxy Tab is making its rounds to all the carriers before the holidays get here, and Sprint is right on schedule. The Android 2.2 tablet will be compatible with the carrier’s 3G network, so you can have data access anywhere Sprint has coverage. And unlike Verizon, Sprint will be offering two big data…
Just because you’re sporting an older Android phone, you shouldn’t have to worry about being neglected or feeling left behind. Sprint users who are currently rocking a Samsung Moment got a little bit of an update today that does some maintenance to make things a bit smoother. The DJ07 maintenance release promises to do a…
