Why Develop for Sprint?

At Sprint, our goal is to provide developers access to all of the enabling capabilities to succeed in creating a solution that meets your needs.

Developer needs can vary from creating an enterprise application that improves productivity, to developing the next social networking phenomenon or just trying to implement that idea you drew up on the back of the napkin.

To deliver on Sprint's vision of enabling developers, our strategies align around our eight core principles of 'Open'

1. Be the easiest to do business with
2. Be the developer's "Garage" where new innovation happens
3. Deflect and redirect care/support/help. Create a sustainable cost neutral (or better) ecosystem
4. Mimic the proven Open Internet (online/PC) mode
5. Let the Market Determine the winners
6. Separate the Service from the Device
7. Scale is a "must have". Do not fragment
8. Open does NOT = Free or No Control

Through the Sprint Developer Program, our goal is pretty simple:

• Give you access to the information you need (ex: Device Specifications, Mobile Software Specs, etc)
• Give you access to enabling capabilities (ex: Sprint Developer Sandbox, Mobile Software APIs, Service Enablers)
• Have a clear path to market to distribute/leverage your mobile content (App Stores, SMS Aggregators, etc)
• Ability to get support based on your particular needs (community vs Sprint specific engagement)

We really welcome your feedback and participation in our community as we can only get better with your feedback/input.
