Sprint today was the last of the three major iPhone carriers in the United States to release earnings for the first calendar quarter of 2012, announcing that it sold 1.5 million iPhones during the quarter. The number is down slightly from the 1.8 million units sold in the previous quarter, the debut quarter for the iPhone on Sprint.

Sprint remains the smallest of the three major U.S. iPhone carriers in terms of units sold, as Verizon activated 3.2 million iPhones during the quarter while AT&T continued to lead the pack with 4.3 million units. Sprint did, however, experience the smallest percentage decline from the previous quarter among the three carriers. The carrier also noted that 44% of its quarterly iPhone sales went to customers new to Sprint, up from 40% in the previous quarter.

He could just rephrase it as:
And now it is relevant.
This is my wish as well but I know it won't happen in my area this year. (OR next). In the last year my 3G data speeds on Sprint have plummeted. Even in a 5-bar area I max out around 150kbps down and sometimes can't even get a data connection.
For the most part I've been satisfied with Sprint's iPhone service. For sure their network is not as fast as AT&T and Verizon's, but at least I don't have to worry about being nickle & dimmed by them specifically for data overages. Plus it's nice that their nights & weekends starts at 7pm instead of 9pm with the rest of them.
Yeah, they need to get their act together quickly if they wanna survive in the U.S. beyond 2013, and I hope they do eventually get the iPhone because that'll be good for customers all around with more competitive iPhone service plans to choose from.
I'm only getting 100kbps if i have good luck.
