I dont know the details... It looks like it is still in the planing stages...

I hope to god not, Sprint is one of the worst companies I ever had to deal with, especially with their billing practices. I been a T-Mo customer since 2002, Ill be unlocking my phones and switching to AT&T then.

sprint has been working very hard to clean up their crappy customer service. I had good service with them the last time I had an issue.

Then buh-bye in advance then.

I would think this to be a bit unlikely seeing that they run vastly different networks...

dude you read my mind, OMG that's scary. If Tmobile sticks with GSM then I'll stay with them, if they go the other route, I'll switch to AT&T forsho and just buy unlocked phones. I've always used imported unlocked phones anyways, the MT3G is only the second Tmobile branded phone that I've had after the samsung E715.

If Tmobile did in fact make a bid on Spint then wouldn't you think they already have a plan to merge the two despite different networks?

ROFL. What major did you graduate as?

I only live in lubbock. I go to yale, which is a hop, skip and jump from NYC.

Lubbock did suck growing up though, considering I moved from NY. Absolutely nothing to do... Best part is the airport, since you're leaving.

The merger would be more difficult since it would mean migrating users from CDMA to GSM Or vice versa. They are very different networks, meaning the merged company would have to maintain both networks (at great cost) for many years in order to complete the migration of all customers.

Additionally, the cost of rebranding existing locations of one store and fixing redundancies in the company would probably draw on for many years.

Either Sprint or T-Mobile better have DEEP pockets.

Will it be profitable in the long term: yes, but it will have huge upfront costs.

Are you guys for real????? I would only it hate it if T-Mobile losses its grip to Sprint if it is the other way then I think Sprint customers ought to be happy for TMO has the best CS. I have been with them since 1999!!!! just because of the customer service!!!
