Sprint Posts Less Customer Losses and Increased Revenue

The future is looking bright(er) for Sprint lately, with improved customer losses and increased revenue compared with their last earnings report. Sprint saw an increase in revenue to eight billion dollars, and also saw less customer losses overall with 75,000 customers leaving. Less customers were lost because of the aggressive advertising of their prepaid customers, which boosted the total number of customers with Sprint service. Overall, not a bad first quarter for Sprint, especially with the HTC Evo coming this summer, along with a new Blackberry Bold. (Sprint)

New Sprint Website

Recently the Sprint website has gotten a new, updated look. When you first visit the website, you're greeted by a screen that asks you if you are already a Sprint customer or if you aren't one yet. After making a selection, the overall look of the other page is similar to the old Sprint website, but with a cleaner look and less links to make it an easier and faster process. If you haven't visited the new Sprint website yet, you can head to Sprint.com and try it out. (Sprint)

Palm Pixi Free on Sprint

The Palm Pixi, a 3G smartphone made for multitasking, is now free from Sprint. Although the most likely reason that it is free now is because of weak sales, this makes it an even better choice for a new Sprint smartphone. It offers a two megapixel camera, 3G speeds, great multitasking with WebOS, and a full keyboard. (Sprint)

Blackberry Bold 9650 Coming May 23

To follow up the popular Blackberry Tour smartphone, the Blackberry Bold 9650, or "Tour 2," will be available to Sprint customers on May 23. The phone is very similar to the Tour, having a 3.2 megapixel camera, international roaming with SIM cards, and similar styling and keyboard. The phone has been updated to include a trackpad for navigation, Wifi, and now double the memory of any other Blackberry smartphone currently on the market. The phone will be available for $199.99 after rebates and discounts (and with a new two year contract) through every Sprint sales channel, unlike the Curve 8530 at launch. (Sprint)
