With all this spending Sprint's future network should be really nice.
Hopefully.
Actually LS is paying sprint the money to piggy back off of sprints towers. It's a win win for sprint, Money plus LTE!

I reallly hope so, I'd like to stay with sprint as long as possible......I don't use data that much since I'm always on wifi but I definitely don't like the feeling of being locked down.

Well bloomberg states otherwise, and I believe it is a much more reputable business website! I cannot post the link since I'm a new member but if you google sprint lightsquared deal and click the bloomberg link it shows that sprint can get up to 2 billion in year from lightsquared because this is the first investment from their giant amount of hedge funds.

Even though people are going nuts off of unofficial news, LightSquared is paying Sprint that over 15 years, not the other way around. Not sure how you read it the other way around. 2 Billion per year, like what the poster above me said.
Thank you sir! The bgr article had it messed up I believe.

Also, if I remember the bloomberg article correctly, not only will sprint get 2B per year from LS, but if LS defaults, then Sprint gets their spectrum. This is a win-win-win for sprint.

For those of your thinking of switching providers and joining Sprint, here's a good incentive.
www.sprintportcredit.com
$100 for every line you port in. You have 72 hours to report your port, the credit takes up to 3 billing cycles.
And regret it for the next 2 years. All for $100 incentive.

Shroomz, check your PMs when you get a chance. Got a quick favor to ask of you.
I've noticed a number of users on here that have seemed yo own many new smartphones in what seems like a short period of time. For example not singling out anyone specifically but some of you guys seem like you've had a G2, Droid X, Droid Incredible and finally an Evo. Okay maybe not every one of those but you get the idea.
So how do you afford to switch so frequently? I certainly don't make enough to switch/upgrade that often.

I need more info on it. Android Central didn't say much. It's a loyalty program so do you have to be with sprint for a certain amount of time? Pay a certain amount (like premeire) have certain types of phones (smartphones? feature phones?)? So many questions and it said it started today x.x
I seen somewhere that's only for sprint employees.

I'm on my hacked og using boost. Its on the standard plan, $50 unlimited. The real Android plan is $55 but since my donor wasn't android I cut it down. Had it 3 months, and in 3 more it will be $45. It's a hard plan to beat for the money.
But I can say, I looked at the new evo and just like sprint ...they wanted an extra $10 a month for service. Wtf man, that would bring it to $65....

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.
