Three of the big four wireless providers in the U.S. have gained customers during Q1 2008. The number four US carrier, however, hemorrhaged a million customers. Sprint, which recently began what was rumored to be a 100 million-dollar campaign for the Samsung Instinct, was rather philosophical about its Q1 results. CEO Dan Hesse admitted it will take :many quarters” for the company to turn the tide. But after the initial response to the Sprint “iPhone Killer” ads have already come in, “recovery” seems like a long way indeed. The Instinct is a great-looking device and all, but an iPhone killer it is not after the 3G version of the Apple Phone comes out.
Update: Thanks to midtoad for pointing out the grammatical error on the title. Sprint did indeed “lose” a million but didn’t let them “loose” on their own choosing.

Unless Sprint opened a gate to let them out, they didn’t “loose” any customers. But it’s likely that they did lose some.
iphone 3g sucks ass like your words. Look at every video out there. The instinct dominates in reliability and speed. ATT cant even get a dam music store running. WAY over priced
