For a company that has to dismantle their iDEN network in less than 360 days, you would think they would not want to add new subscribers to it.
When AT&T moved from TDMA to GSM, it was about a 3 or 4 year transition that took a long time to get 20 million people off of. Ultimately, there were around 100k users who still wouldn't let go of their TDMA service (and devices). Some ultimately were shut off when that technology was turned down finally.
Sprint/Nextel really has a lot of work ahead of themselves. I was starting to think they were getting their business path corrected finally and setting course to make it 3 major players. If they can just get their network to support the push to talk and obtain some cooperation from a fledgling Motorola, they would probably both have considerably success from their efforts.
At this rate though, Sprint is pushing for bankruptcy.
