Sprint Delays Launch of the HTC Touch Pro
Sprint has delayed the release of the highly anticipated HTC Touch Pro in order to insure that Best Buy has an adequate amount of units prior to the nationwide launch. In fact, this will be the first time Sprint will be offering their device for sale through an unaffiliated merchant before customers can directly purchase the handset from the carrier itself. Does this mean that Best Buy now dictates the release dates of mobile devices? It would be na?ve to think otherwise, yet it is still troubling. The HTC Touch Pro will have to wage war right out of the gate, with all the other handsets scheduled to be released roughly at the same time. The Best Buy connection, while standard for some carriers, perhaps magnifies Sprint’s concern that the device will not stack up well…

Sprint Employees Going Back to School
Sprint has unleashed a massive retraining program called Ready Now on its unfaithful and underpaid staff. This one day crash course effectively taught Sprint employees how to instruct customers to use their handsets in a one on one setting. On the agenda were topics such as text messaging, downloading games and adding new contacts to phone books. While Sprint should be applauded for finally bothering to actually train their workforce, those of us with some brains are forced to ask, ‘why now’? It’s not as if training your employees to use the service your company sells is some sort of customer service breakthrough. Perhaps it was one too many cell phones thrown at employees at Sprint stores, or maybe it was disgruntled subscribers who threatened to go Jack-the-Ripper on…

Sprint Asking Customers to Whore Themselves
Sprint, never a shy or timid organization, has finally proven that they are a bunch of mobile degenerates. It should come as no great surprise to the American public that Sprint is now offering each customer $20 if they place their Sprint phone in family videos. All customers have to do is upload a video to YouTube where they can be seen enjoying a social engagement of some sort and a Sprint mobile phone just happens to be present in the video. We always knew that Sprint were a bunch of slimy pirates, but pimping their own customers? Let’s hope that people aren’t dumb enough to soil their family memories for a measly $20. (I know the economy is bad, but give me a break!) Just imagine captions along the lines of “My daughters graduation and a Sprint phone”, or “Salsa…

Sprint = A very bad customer service. No doubt.
Sprint's troubles as a national wireless carrier are so deep, now on their way to recover. Sprint was reeling from an ill-fated merger with Nextel. Customers were leaving in droves. Executives were threatening to leave, while those who wanted to stay were worried they would lose their jobs. To motivate the staff, Mr. Hesse gave them DVDs of a documentary about Ernest Shackleton, the famous explorer whose ship was trapped in ice on an expedition to Antarctica. He liked the movie for its optimistic message: the crew survived. Shackleton’s ship did not. It was crushed by the ice and swallowed by the unforgiving sea. That parallel to Sprint was probably not lost on Sprint employees because many have been asking the question: Can Mr. Hesse save his crew and stop the company…

It appears to show that Sprint is about to take care of that for you via their Mobile Mail Work, which is a push mail solution for non-PDA mobile handsets.

Sprint departures echo underlying woes
Two more directors are leaving Sprint, writes the Wall Street Journal. Keith Bane and Linda Koch Lorimer have announced that they will not pursue re-election at May's shareholder meeting; the company now has a sizable four vacancies to fill, Frank Drendel and William Swanson having announced similar news last month. This may benefit Sprint, however, according to analyst Walter Piecyk of Pail Research. "The departure of four board members should provide a much needed fresh perspective to the board," he says.
Sprint has taken a number of corporate blows in the past year. The company recently reported a $29.5 billion loss for 2007, thanks in part to the departure of 683,000 subscribers. It also negotiated a mire of lawsuits, and has yet to finalize its WiMAX…

Access And Ace Handsets Available In AT&T And Sprint
Those are unique 3G phones from Samsung. The Access for AT&T would take on a candybar form redolent of the UpStage but drop the dual-sided design in favor of a larger screen and directional pad. It will have disappointing 1.3-megapixel camera but will support HSPA broadband for AT&T's streaming music and video services. Other specifications are unsure but are likely to include Bluetooth and a microSD slot for storage. Its release date is uncertain but anticipated for the near future.
Ace phone is due for Sprint. The Ace will be a CDMA-based relative to the BlackJack II with a smaller 1.3-megapixel camera and a squared-off keypad but will still run Windows Mobile 6 and support push e-mail from Exchange servers over its EVDO connection. Few other details are…
