It tells existing U.S. customers to hold tight. Offers them "cutting edge" Androids instead.
If the merger of AT&T (T) and T-Mobile USA (DT) announced Sunday wins regulatory approval -- still a big if --Apple (AAPL) may count itself one of the deal's beneficiaries. It will have expanded the addressable market for its mobile phones and tablets by nearly 34 million potential customers.

What does AT&T's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA mean for Sprint? A whole lot of trouble.
Image via Wikipedia
Sprint (S), the third-largest U.S. carrier, has struggled to find its niche for years. It spent billions of dollars building out a WiMAX 4G network that has failed to pay off. It's also battled customer losses (a.k.a. churn in industry lingo) and a reputation for less-than-stellar customer service. Assuming AT&T's (T) MORE

I'm currently on vacation in Florida (or at least my wife keeps telling me I am) but I couldn't help but put together a 4G phone comparison.
As of yesterday, the release of the Verizon (VZ) Thunderbolt meant that all four major US networks have phones that purport to be 4G. I happen to have brought a device (or two) from each network and over the past week, I have MORE

The iPhone's dominance of J.D. Power's semi-annual consumer satisfaction surveys has become so routine that the venerable marketing company's press release Thursday buried the news after six paragraphs about how owners who use their phones for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and the like are measurably happier with their smartphones than those who don't.
