    The iDEN fallout is still killing them. Until iDEN is dead (which appears to be 1-2 years away) they will continue to lose money. But subscriber numbers on the CDMA side of things keep going up. Iphone is helping.

    True. I also think the fact that Sprint being the only major wireless company to still offer an unlimited data plan has helped them as well.

    9,600 iDEN cell sites are going to be decommissioned this year. That will be a nice savings for the company.

    Tell me about it. There really shouldn't be any new iDEN activations taking place either.

    Why would they continue selling them knowing that they will soon be doing away with that technology? It doesn't make sense to me.

    I don't know but I did find a Nextel handset still being offered on Sprint's web site.

    ^ Unless Sprint is planning on offering a free upgrade to their CDMA network, IMHO, they need to stop selling those devices.

    All of us have work issued Nextel phones, they are intrinsically safe for use in hazardous locations, as far as I know it is one of a kind device. It will be interesting to see what happens when our contract is up

    Didn't Verizon start up a service similar to Nextel a few years back? Maybe that will be an option if it's still available?

    We have IDEN antennae on our premises, so I hope Sprint is planning to replace them with theirs. Otherwise Sprint coverage generally sux around here. :D
