What a shock. I am stunned. The carrier with the coolest phones, most awesome rate plans, and best service ever, Sprint Nextel, posted a loss for Q1 of 2007. Well a company as awesome and rad as Sprint Nextel couldn’t have lost that much cash, right? Try $211 million. Sprint Nextel blames lackluster sales and the loss of high-quality subscribers for the loss. Word is that a lot of Nextel subscribers have been jumping ship since Sprint’s 2005 acquisition.
I’m really surprised. Sprint has amazing commercials that showcase why they’re better than the competition, right? They don’t? Oh well, at least they got the guy from “Office Space” to pitch new phones.

Vince, loosing 211 Million on sales of 10 Billion isn’t that big of a deal - a few tweeks here & there and that 2% loss is wiped out in no time. I wouldn’t be too concerned unless it begins GROWING quarter after quarter…

I don’t think Sprint has that many coolest phones, only one or two. Verizon and new AT&T have more cool phones. I agree Sprint has awesome rate plans. About service, Sprint has good coverage and very good data network coverage. But customer service is really bad. I see a lot of people leaving Sprint to Verizon and T-Mobile cause customer service. I have Sprint and I experienced its horrible customer service.
