Can the Sprint network possibly handle an exclusive iPhone 5 subscriber base?

Launching with Sprint support: 80/20 yes

Sprint Exclusive: 100% no.

As much as one of my friends would like to argue this point, there is no way it will be Sprint exclusive.

Exclusive to Sprint? Boy would this piss a lot of people off.

Does anyone here really think that Apple would enrage their loyal users on AT&T and Verizon to give Sprint this deal?

If you do, send me some of what you're drinking and/or smoking because I want to live in a fantasy world too

whoa! This seems a little unbelievable.. BGR is really grasping here.. me thinks..

30 million iPhones over 4 years. WSJ is usually a very strong source. This would certainly explain Sprint’s October 7th event.

@allthingsd: Sprint to "Bet the Company" on iPhone http://t.co/3qg0dqQP

More info: Sprint would be in the red through 2014. Wonder who would buy Sprint then? Fire auction sale!

Is this Apple's attempt to bully AT&T and Verizon back into offering unlimited data plans?

Because if it is, I LIKE IT.

LOL@kch. No way AT&T is not going to get the i5. Sprint couldnt handle an exclusive, and ATT and Apple have a VERY lucrative partnership (for both parties) going.
