From Ziggytek: How mortifying is this –you, a lady, proudly purchase a “brand new” WiMAX smartphone (HTC Evo 4G) from a third-party Sprint dealer, show it off to your co-workers and friends, and they discover X-rated pornography on the device! Never would such an embarrassing fiasco occur with a Steve Jobs phone. More »

From Ziggytek: In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Dan Schulman of Sprint has conceded what everyone knows, that the Palm Pre has failed to live up to expectations. Sprint CFO Robert Brust says that his company would “love” to carry the iPhone, but unfortunately, there is no contract in place to do so.
