Wish Sprint had snagged the iPhone deal instead of AT&T. I’d be a happy iPhone owner I have no doubt.

Enjoying my HTC Hero a LOT however :)

Amen to Sprint...SERO plan still best deal going.

Would prefer a Droid over an I-anything though.

Could not agree more. I’d gladly pay 3 or 4 hundy for an iPhone 4G if it wasn’t shackled to AT&T. ( I paid 5 for a Blackberry three years ago.) And I agree, my HTC Hero is a surprisingly reasonable substitute. If it only synched with iCal or MobileMe.

You were saying ...

Well, Apple tried working with Motorola before and it was a disaster phone that was made ... LOL...

I understand that Sprint was given an opportunity, but Sprint was stuck in the "old mode" of dealing with manufacturers of phones and couldn't "let Apple be Apple".

Now, that's exactly what AT&T said, with its CEO coming on stage with Steve Jobs (at the announcement of the iPhone) and said, "We let Apple be Apple," in designing and making the phone. AT&T had to even change their cel phone network to accomodate Apple in that one device -- the iPhone.

Now, think of that... a cel phone manufacturer, coming in and telling the cel phone service provider that they would have to change their entire network to accomodate just this one device (where no other manufacturer did that).

Well, AT&T was smart enough to recognize where the "future" was at. Sprint was plain dumb and stuck in the past and couldn't "work it out" with Apple.

In that case, it's Sprint's loss, as we can see now.
