Goldman Sachs says buy, investors buy

Admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:36:18 +0000

Sprint shares are up 8.4 percent this morning after a buy recommendation from Goldman Sachs. We haven’t seen the report but the move from a neutral rating has impressed traders.

Shares were up 37 cents at .78 last we checked.

If anyone’s keeping score, and Bloomberg News does, Goldman’s buy moves the analyst count to 12 buyers vs. 17 neutrals and four sells.

Of course, given Goldman’s recent press in the mortgage markets, has anyone wondered that if Goldman’s recommending its clients buy Sprint shares that its own trading desk might secretly be shorting the stock?

Sprint has stated that it is open to switching to LTE if needed and as also stated by Clear, it would not be that difficult to do. Sprint has submitted a request for proposal (RFP) from many of the world’s wireless networking technology companies in order for it to evolve its CDMA network. This would truly bring about positive change for the users and allow for better cell experiences.

Sprint 3G data service scores well in Beantown, but AT&T dominates elsewhere, survey shows

Admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:40:12 +0000

The Boston Globe

A survey of 18 US cities conducted by the technology website PCMag.com found that Sprint’s 3G data network – used for services other than voice calls, such as Internet browsing and texting – delivered better overall performance in Boston than the networks of its three main rivals: AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile USA.

But the survey showed a very different result for the rest of the country, where despite months of relentless criticism about dropped calls and sluggish 3G performance, AT&T was ranked number one.

The phone is billed as the first 3G/4G Android handset. The EVO will have access to more than 50,000 applications on Android Market.

Sprint said recently the phone will sell for 9.99. (Actually, it’s 9.99 with 0 rebate.)
But the price on service, just more per month than Sprint’s Everything Data plans for 3G-only phones — a total of .99 monthly.
