Will the company not be American enough for you? If that's a problem for you, you need to look a lot closer at the public companies traded on NYSE etc!!! Anyone, from anywhere, can own a large percentage of your "American" company and you would never know unless you check.

As a European I don't care if the gas station where I purchase my gasoline is called Exxon or [Royal Dutch] Shell? If I go to my local McDonalds, should I care if the people behind the counter are paid by an American franchise? Or if I log on to my PC and go online - does it matter that my laptop was built in Taiwan and uses "American" software? Not to me it doesn't, it's a global economy - get used to it.]]>Jul 15th 2008 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/

As far as foreign companies owning American ones, the trend that is happening now happened in the late 70s and early 80s. It is cyclical.

I also wrote an open letter to Dan Hesse the Chairman and CEO of Sprint Nextel. It is a good read so please consider reading the letter.

Are you going to simply go around to every sprint story and post your stupidity?

I've seen your same post NUMEROUS times! Get a life, and maybe spend some money on some business classes, so you can better run your company. ]]>Jul 15th 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/
You're dumber than Rosie O'Donnell! Sell your business before you destroy it!]]>Jul 15th 2008 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/
Most alarming, I don't have any really bad horror stories. The service is simply poor, weak signal strength, few EVDO RevA towers, dropped calls, no native picture messaging (i.e. you have to use the Sprint picture mail website), and no native tethered data access (extra fee or aircard required)... I haven't needed to talk to customer service about my bill, and I pray I never have to, because in trying to sign up with them or change services on my account, was a nightmare.

When Sprint works though, when I have a good signal that is, I do like it. Overall though, despite T-Mobiles slow data speeds, they were the best I had tried and I wish I had stayed with them. Sprint does have some awesome phones though...

P.S. I'm aware that signal and service quality can vary on where you live and what phone you have - but I live in a major city and have a brand new higher-end phone...]]>Jul 15th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/
Their customer service isn't exactly the best but they're hard to beat for Smartphones and data access.]]>Jul 15th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/

Just means that Sprint will be ahead of the curve technology wise as usual. Now they need to get their shit together with customer service and getting back to having the best phone lineup in the business- like they did when they 1st started.

Is 20 cumulative hours on the phone with people who barely speak english and months of screwed-up bills afterward resulting from a simple phone exchange reason enough to dislike them?]]>Jul 15th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/
Yes their plans may be better but I'd rather have a nice looking phone and receive some decent one on one care than have a shitty looking smartphone.

Sorry that's just me.

As for 3G my current Sprint phone isn't capable of that so I don't care. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to purchase a new phone Sprint will have changed its attitude by then.]]>Jul 15th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/Jul 15th 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/sk-telecom-still-interested-in-scooping-up-sprint/
