I mean, I understand all the "eliminating a competitor" stuff, but from an technologically-efficient standpoint it really doesn't make sense. I don't know what kind of costs are associated with maintaining GSM, CDMA, and iDEN networks separately are, but maintaining both CDMA and iDEN isn't working out well for Sprint, let alone what would happen when you add in GSM to the mix. And on top of that, you now have to sell phones with three different radios in them.

I could understand Verizon making an offer to pick up Sprint if any such deal were to be made, since Verizon also runs CDMA, but this whole GSM/CDMA/iDEN thing just doesn't make sense to me.]]>May 3rd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/

Plus since VZW has a wider network and a chunk of the 700mhz spectrum, it'll be a redundant purchase.

T-Mobile has alot to gain, data being the elephant & better voice.
Hex-band phones?]]>May 3rd 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/May 3rd 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/deutsche-telekom-looking-to-pick-up-sprint/
