Comments on: Sprint's Pre Exclusivity: Is Through 2009 Long Enough? http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20090220/pre-exclusivity/ by John Paczkowski Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dominic Pannone http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20090220/pre-exclusivity/comment-page-1/#comment-5313 Dominic Pannone Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:23:49 +0000 http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/?p=13241#comment-5313 RE: Customer service and overall coverage. Ive said it before, but Sprint is awesome. Im always the last in a group to lose service and call quality is great. I cannot wait for the Pre... Only negative for Sprint is their commercials featuring its CEO...I dont get it...who wants see a company CEO in a commercial (unless your Apple Fanboys) and how is this benefiting brand/revenue.

To be sure, it is a bold call, requiring investors to look beyond 2009 and the dreary effects of the recession, growing unemployment and a lingering banking crisis.

To date T & VZ have done nothing but TALK about how they intend to evolve into 4G, however Sprint already has begun to provide 4G, which is being currently offered in Portland and Baltimore. Perception of Sprint's bad customer service and reality are two totally different things. All one needs to do is Trust but Verify the findings of JD Powers and Gizmoto, which indicated nothing but positive results regarding Sprint versus its competitors.

If Sprint feels the exclusivity is beneficial to its underlying business, ie its ROI then you can rest assured they will continue with the exclusivity. Again the situation is a wait and see and their is absolutely no proof on your part that would ascertain Sprint's relationship with Palm, with regard to the term limit of Sprint's exclusivity. What makes no sense is how anyone would indicate Sprint's term limit with Palm's Pre, when they have'nt even introduced the product.
