El Móvil que devalábamos hace un par de meses atrás se lanzo este 19 de Junio con un éxito total, ya que a sido el móvil EVDO mas vendido durante la primera semana de lanzamiento en los EE.UU. por dicha operadora, siendo un exito total para quienes apostaron y compraron la exlusividad de este maginifco terminal de la compañía Samsung Movil.
Agregaron también los gerentes de Sprint, que su exito se debe también a la banda ancha que brindan siendo esta ideal para el funcionamiento a un 100% del Instinct, SUPERANDO el marketing y cambiando el paradigma que creo la publicidad de los terminales 3G. | | By: Acaecimiento | | |

| | Deutsche Telekom May Bid for Sprint Nextel | | 2008-05-05 04:46:44 | | Deutsche Telekom AG is weighing a bid to acquire Sprint Nextel Corp. that could catapult the German telecommunications giant's wireless arm, T-Mobile USA, to the No. 1 position in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter. Deutsche Telekom's deliberations are at a preliminary stage and management may very well turn away, these people cautioned. If a bid is launched for Sprint Nextel, which has a stock-market capitalization of $22 billion and is the No. 3 player in the U.S. wireless market, it could still be weeks, or even months, away, they added. The potential bid is being considered as the former German monopoly scouts for acquisitions in countries outside the German market, where it has seen its revenue shrink in recent years amid rising competition and falling prices. Last year, it booked just over 50% of its revenue outside Germany for the first time. T-Mobile is a distant No. 4 in the U.S. wireless market, with 28.7 million customers at the end of December.

| | Match Made in Wireless Heaven? T-Mobile and Sprint | | 2008-05-04 21:04:00 | | BloggingStocks.com's Douglas McIntyre posted a few reasons today why a Sprint / T-Mobile deal makes sense.Being the number three and four carriers, it would seem to make sense.But the fact that issues still exist from the last merger (Sprint / Nextel) that's giving Sprint churn-nightmares each quarter, would imply that this thing isn't happening any time soon - if at all.And, given T-Mo's tight focus on rolling out UMTS in '08, I can't imagine they'd want to absorb network-related issues that have existed since the Sprint-Nextel merger.But, hey, if T-Mo and Sprint find a way to make the marriage work, it would put their subscriber list above both ATT and Verizon Wireless. Could they make it work with all the issues they'd certainly inherit? Well, it could be better than being number 4 (T-Mo). And, Sprint certainly needs to do something about this.But then again, I'm no expert.

For $10 less than the competition, you can get unlimited voice, messaging, and push to talk use from the #3 carrier. Although it doesn't offer any data use or other goodies such as Sprint TV or GPS navigation, it still bests T-Mobile's unlimited talk/text plan. Will any of the other carriers respond? Do they even need to?

| | Sprint to have WiMAX Phones in 2008 | | 2008-02-29 12:20:37 | | New CEO, Dan Hesse mentioned yesterday that later this year Sprint will introduce dual-mode CDMA/WiMAX devices. This is a good thing for them as they need to do what they can to be the first company dropping 4G on us. Another great headline in a short span of days for the third ranked company after announcing their Simply Unlimited plan earlier this week. If they end up signing a slew of new customers with their rate plan, they'll need to build up the network to support it and WiMAX sure would help!Kind of ironic to think about #3 doing so poorly and thinking ahead to 4G technology while company #4 keeps reporting better numbers all the time and they have yet to launch their 3G stuff.AndroidGuys | The most trusted site for Google Android news and opinion.

A week after Verizon and T-Mobile matched their offering for unlimited rate plans, and in T-Mobile's case bested it by offering text as part of the package for $99, Sprint counters by including everything but the kitchen sink. They call it "Simply Everything," which includes Voice, Data, Text, Email, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS navigation, Direct Connect, and Group Connect. A key to the store will also be given to the first 500 customers that sign up. After hemorrhaging another 1.2 million customers the company is pulling out all of the stops in an effort to slow down the bleeding. Now if they could only address their customer service issues.

The struggling telco posted a fourth-quarter loss of $29.5 billion, or $10.36 a share, reversing the year-ago profit of $261 million, or 9 cents a share. The latest quarter was hit by a $29.7 billion writedown of merger-related goodwill, reflecting the difference between the price Sprint paid and the actual value of the assests purchased.

| | Sprint to up the Ante? | | 2008-02-20 11:28:50 | | Since three of the big 4 carriers announced $99 unlimited plans yesterday, Sprint's unveiling of the $119 unlimited plan just seems downright worthless. T-Mobile will start offering unlimited calling and texting tomorrow for $20 less than Sprint. AT&T and Verizon's plans offer unlimited calling, but no messaging. A rumor is spreading today that Sprint will combat these plans with an unlimited calling plan of around $60 per month. At a savings of 40% over competitors, Sprint might be in a good position to pick up some of those customers they've been losing. Even with calling only, they'd be offering a whole lot for very little. We hope they do make a move like this as we have a little bias towards members of the Open Handset Alliance. Worst case scenario, Sprint closes up shop but takes the price war to a whole new level in the process.Hold on to your butts, this could get really ugly and really fun.

| | Samsung Ace - Another World Phone for Sprint Customers | | 2008-02-19 18:40:44 | | It's a well-known fact that Verizon and AT&T pretty much have the wireless market covered, and for a huge company like Sprint, it means it has to go out of its way to keep its current customers from converting to the other two giants. One of the key problems with CDMA-based technologies has been the inability to support world-roaming phones. So there's some good news for the Sprint customers as the company announced the arrival of Samsung Ace, a Samsung BlackJack look-alike, that offers dual-mode CDMA/GSM functionality so you can use your smartphone internationally.Before, Sprint had introduced the RIM BlackBerry 8830 World Edition for its business customers. But being a smartphone, it wasn't much use for the other people who just travelled for leisure and need a world phone that's not a blackberry. Samsung Ace seems to be an answer to their prayers! The Ace will use Sprint's CDMA network for all domestic calls, and then you can use the included SIM card to make calls on GSM networ | | By: Cool Ideas and gadgets | | |
| | New Toyota Sprint Series (UK) | | 2008-02-08 12:30:00 | | The Japanese have been providing affordable performance cars to the masses for decades now and Toyota have had their fair share of product offerings. So it only seems fair that Toyota (GB) PLC has signed up to be the major sponsor of the new Toyota Sprint Series 2008. A celebration of Toyota products new and old, the series aims to bring enthusiasts from all over the UK together to compete against the clock for top honours.Toyota has some serious pedigree in motorsport, particularly in World Rally Championship racing. The rally Celica’s and Corolla’s of the 80’s and 90’s were race vehicles based of street production models such as the Celica GT4’s, so expect to see some of these machines competing. In fact, Toyota still participates in competitive rallying with the TRD branded Corolla’s in some countries such as Australia.

| | | Sprint Plans to Cut Jobs | | 2008-01-14 23:05:00 | | Posted by Marguerite ReardonCNet News.com Sprint Nextel is preparing to cut thousands of jobs, according to the The Wall Street Journal. The company's new CEO Dan Hesse is supposedly trying to show investors that he is serious about cutting costs, the newspaper's Web site reported late on Monday. A Sprint representative declined to comment on the story. Exactly how many people could lose their jobs is not yet known. Last year the company cut about 5,000 jobs. At the end of the last quarter Sprint reported it had roughly 60,000 employees. Sprint is the third largest cell phone company in the U.S. behind AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Investors have been unhappy with Sprint's performance for sometime, which actually led to the company's previous CEO, Gary Forsee being forced out in October.

| | Wireless News: Dan Hesse, Sprint's New Mountain Climber | | 2007-12-20 07:30:00 | | 10 years and 10 months ago, I made the best decision of my career.I joined AT&T Wireless as a recruiter.It was a great decision, and, it was also a very cool time to jump in to the world of wireless. The phones were getting smaller, the cell sites were popping up like crazy, and we had more jobs to fill than we could get our arms around.And, Dan Hesse was the President of the company (which, by the way, had the lion's share of wireless subscribers).I admired Hesse's leadership, and recall that he was well-liked and revered for his leadership. Which is why everybody was disappointed when he left (while still on top) to a startup called Terabeam (now Proxim Wireless).Fast-forward a decade or so, and it seems Hesse is about to climb his steepest mountain to date: Sprint (for a detailed article on Hesse's-mountain, click HERE).All I can say is....if anybody can do it, I think Hesse can.In the spirit of wireless competition...Go Dan - we're rootin' for you. | | By: WirelessJobs.com | | |

| | Sprint explores options for WiMAX, ponders Clearwire deal | | 2007-06-15 17:53:50 | |
Looks like Sprint’s feverish approach to WiMAX just swallowed a chill pill, as the firm is reportedly “exploring new options for financing its ambitious plan.” In a presumed effort to “soothe investor concerns about the cost of the WiMAX plan,” the company is actually investigating a partnership or joint venture with Clearwire in order to simultaneously remove a potential competitor and gain access to the critical Clearwire markets in the southeastern US. Of course, Clearwire isn’t one to shy away from high stakes partnerships, and the FCC nod for a WiMAX-class laptop card that it garnered just last month could fit in quite well here. Still, Clearwire is refusing to comment just yet on whether this possibility is even feasible, but the mere mention of a spinoff likely means that Sprint isn’t feeling all too peachy about future WiMAX profitability.

| | Sprint's Mobile WiMAX Network | | 2007-05-29 15:28:00 | | Sprint ( Sprint Nextel Corporation is the third largest cellular operator in USA, with 53.7 million subscribers) is engaged in design and deployment of Mobile WiMAX broadband network in full-swing. The Chicago and Washington D.C. areas have been chosen as initial WiMAX service areas with additional markets to be identified based on market-readiness estimates.The first market may be launched by the end of the year and they plan to reach at least 100 million people by year-end 2008.Sprint's WiMax network is based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard,operates in the 2.5GHz band and is also termed as 4G network.The core 802.16e s contains three different air interfaces: single carrier, OFDM ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiple Access). Single carrier systems are targeted at the 10-66 GHz band, point-to-point for backhaul. OFDM (more commonly referred to as 802.16d) is the first WiMAX standard, intended for fixed broadband wireless access.The standard 802.16e-2005 used by Sprint, brings an enhanced air interface using OFDMA with enhanced performance and optimized to support mobility. It also adds support for advanced features such as MIMO ( Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output)and AAS (Advanced Antenna Systems) further improving the rate/reach of WiMAX technology in deployment.OFDM works by dividing a given spectrum block into a number of sub-channels, each of which is individually modulated and then transmitted orthogonally to minimize interference with one another. The result is faster, more robust radio links than can be achieved with alternative modulation/multiplexing schemes. It is often claimed, for example, that OFDM is more efficient, in terms of bits per Hertz, than CDMA and WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) technology used in 3G systems, and/or delivers better performance in non-line-of-sight urban environments due to better resistance to multipath interference.OFDMA air interface has an added feature of multiple access duplexing in the time domain achieved by assigning ‘slots’ or ‘tiles’ on a dynamic per user basis. This scheme provides and efficient use of available spectrum allowing bandwidth (and ultimately usable data rate) sharing across users.WiMax is be the integration into existing 3GPP core networks.MIMO technology allows for either enhanced datarate, or enhanced coverage or reach. MIMO systems have several antennas allowing many, distinct signals to be simultaneously sent at the same time. WiMAX supports several different MIMO techniques such as Matrix A ‘Alamouti’ for improved reach/indoor coverage and Matrix B ‘Blast’ for enhanced datarates.The technique AAS also called beamforming, improves the spectral efficiency (bits/s/Hz) of the OFDMA air interface which can dramatically reduce the cost of deployments (Capex) and the typical throughput to the user. Multiple antennas give the ability to steer the beam from the base station to the user improves reach, and the ability to steer nulls reduces interference.Sprint WiMax network will will offer downstream speeds of 2Mbps to 4Mbps and combined with fast uplinks, it will offer enough bandwidth for mobile videoconferencing, transfers of large enterprise files and other applications.At the current levels UMTS can not offer anything comparable at this stage but UMTS is already established itself and WiMax has still to prove itself as a viable cellular network in marketplace. | | By: Science & Technology Today | | |
