Earlier today, the FTC announced that Sprint Nextel’s proposed merger with Virgin Mobile USA has received antitrust clearance, i.e. the deal can move ahead. While still too early to tell if this is a good move for the struggling number 3 carrier, at least it looks like Sprint won’t have to deal with any legal roadblocks on its way to bolstering its prepaid segment. Now, if Sprint could just work on its customer service, hurry up with WiMAX, lower the price of the Pre, and get some Android handsets…

I think lowering the price of the Pre is a moot point now. With the HTC Hero on the Sprint horizon, I see Pre sales going down the toilet no matter the price. Palm needs to get the Pre on several other networks at this point to keep sales up because the Hero will kill its Sprint sales. I dont see anyway around this.
As a Helio subscriber, this makes me very, very excited.
Have you called Sprint’s Customer Service lately. I must admit they have made dramatic strides in making it better.
