Verizon hasn't always been kind to Apple in their attack ads and to date, the two companies haven't been able to come to terms, so what about Sprint? Doesn't seem to get much attention. I have both a 3GS and a Palm pre. I must say that I receive more 3G area (I travel a lot) and as good, if not better reception on Sprint then I do with AT&T. Check out Sprints map for 3G. Looks very similar to Verizon. Sprint being the almost forgotten 3rd place network would probably be willing to cut a screaming deal for Apple. The 'everything' packages would make customers happy. Sounds like a win-win. I've found Sprint to be reliable and the Customer Service has improved over what I experienced years ago. What do you think?

MY GOD TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN!! I want iPhone for my everything package... always have

I've never been thrilled with any Sprint service in my area. (And the interaction with their CSRs on a client issue really turned me off to them.) That said, I just wish all these stupid exclusivity deals would just go away. Let the carriers subsidize if they want, but the "exclusive" crap has got to end.

Sprint still isn't profitable even after their restructure. Apple isn't going to partner with a company that isn't profitable.

I'm sorry,but Verizon is going to upset a lot of people.Dispite what a lot people think Verizon can't handle the iPhone.Don't believe me go into a store and look for a ''droid''.YOU won't find it a display version maybe, but not a live phone.Why because Verizon is afraid of a instore comparision.

Sprints not profitable, true. However, they're not going away either. CS has improved greatly since 4 years ago. The iPhone is just the product that could bring them back and Apple knows it and negotiate from that position. If they don't negotiate with Sprint, they would leave Verizon in too strong of a position.

I would say don't go to sprint because they seem to have the worse service, and they dont even have a major device bogging down their system.

The Palm Pre couldn't save Sprint. The iPhone can't save Sprint. Sprint is so self-destructive, they are bound on their path.

The Worst service?? Are you kidding? AT&T IS THE WORST Service.

"Service" is relative to what area people live in, not just the little bubble you live in.
