I have been saying this since it was announced! So glad the DOJ is stepping up to do something about it.

It's not over yet! Do you think sprint would still want them?

Sprint will want it but they dont have the money, there is a group of private investors that have been lurking on the fringe. They have been designated the most likely outcome. Chinese and Russian firms have shown an interest but the Congress hurdles would be great.

QFE. I wonder why it tok this long though, I would've shot it down the moment they announced it.

i think apple should buy tmobile so they can give iphone users a true end to end experience. tmo could exclusively sell iphones, leave all the good android handsets to the other carriers. if all the big networks(ie att and vzw) saw a mass exodus of customers to go to a service provided by apple, prices would prolly go down across the board.

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.

Samsung Within

I figured since there isn't a topic on this handset yet that I'd go ahead and start one. Android spin is reporting the phone will release on sprint by the end of July. Does anyone have any information on what will be different about the handset other than the radio. I don't see why sprint would give it a different moniker if its the same as the international version.

Whosdaman got an email from his source saying that it would be coming at that date. From what I see WiThin=WiMax+Thin. So, they're marketing two features of the phone(4G and size) with one name. So, that's my guess t the name change.

I have been sitting on my upgrade since february, preordered the evo 3d, then heard about this phone a few weeks ago. If you look at the specs, this thing blows the evo 3d out of the water. Internal memory is huge and the bench marks are insane. So, it looks like I will be sticking with samsung.

been sitting on my upgrade since february as well, specifically for the sgs2. i had the moment, intercept, transform, and the epic so i might as well keep her goin samsung style.
So I got my Epic in December. I stupidly locked into a 2 yr contact. I definitely want this phone tho. Even if it means breaking my contract and starting a new one. What's the smartest route to take?

If more people who had this phone knew about android versions and what not, I'm sure samsung would have been getting complaints right about now.
Luckily, for Samsung though, most users are teens who text a lot(me included) Oh well, maybe they'll learn some day.

That's right. I would venture 90+% of people have NO CLUE what Gingerbread is, nor what version of Android they're currently running. They see an update come through, install it, and go about their business. A select few of them may notice something different with the looks, but that's about it. They may notice something looks different, but only because one of their apps (I'm thinking Eclair vs. Froyo messaging) looks a bit different. If that's the case, they probably assume the update was just for that app...
If Samsung is throwing around Gingerbread all over the Epic (as well as most of the US galaxy s series) have not gotten, maybe it is the carriers holding everything up. All of the updated GBs have been through Kies and for some reasn Sprint don't want the Epic on Kies.

At this point i'm stuck with my epic for another year min. While i'm fine with that it would really easy to live with if I had an official release. at this point I wish they would just release what they have good or bad and our awesome developers here will fix it. Heck what ever they release wouldn't be as good as what our developers do anyway. So close enough I say, release EH17 source and get out of our way!!!!
