Rumor: Sprint making $20 billion bet on iPhone

They want to double their customer base without building any new towers? So much for any quality their service once had.

Well, with cross-licensing, they use Verizon towers a lot anyhow. But I agree, this deal looks pretty damned silly.

Frankly, that's no longer necessarily true about Sprint (although they certainly were terrible in the past). I use them now, and have received excellent customer service from them, at least over the phone. Brick-and-mortar service, however, wasn't terrible, but no better than so-so...
