It’s coming a little later than expected but Sprint and Verizon have dropped the price of the original Samsung Galaxy Tab to a mere $200 on contract, a move that shouldn’t shock anyone considering Samsung just introduced two new tablets and has yet to guarantee an upgrade to Android 3.0 Gingerbread. Sprint had been rumored [...]

Sprint may have already begun to migrate its network resources from the aging iDEN system to rolling out a next-generation 4G network based on the LTE protocol, which is being used by rivals Verizon Wireless and to be used by AT&T later this year.

That freed spectrum from the [...]
4G connectivity is destined to be something we all have sooner or later. Probably about the time that we start hearing about 5G.

On its own, I commend Sprint for being the first 4G network in the U.S. by debuting its WiMax network and its EVO 4G smartphone long before rival Verizon Wireless had even unveiled its own 4G network based on the competing LTE network. However, when the carrier says that it’s committed to WiMax despite looking [...]
With Sprint already linked to the HTC EVO View Tablet via a rumored leak earlier in the week, an HTC trademark filing for a device of the same name with a 4G moniker at the end helps to solidify the tablet’s 4G roots. If in fact the HTC EVO View Tablet will be coming to [...]
The Wall Street Journal reports that Sprint has reopened discussions on how to merge with T-Mobile USA as the two slip further away from their far more powerful rivals, Verizon and AT&T.
