Sprint is scared. That’s the word on th street. I paid a visit to a reliable sprint users forum stating that “Sprint is bending over backwards to anyone who mentions the iPhone.” Sprint is offering handsome incentives to keep people from switching to AT&T. They are offering specials on the HTC Mogul and other perks to convince people to stay. People with iPhones have money to burn and Sprint would rather have them burn it with them.For mobile carriers, voice plans have become a commodity as networks become faster and more reliable. Data, text, and entertainment are the real money makers. Smart phones are a gateway to more revenue for companies like Sprint. They can’t afford to lose add-on loving customers. They’d have less to fear if they offered better phones. Sprint doesn’t really fear AT&T. It’s Apple that keeps them up at night.
