Why Sprint

Providing the best value for customers living the wireless lifestyle is Sprint’s ultimate goal. For customers who want to do more than just talk, Sprint’s data plans are designed to enable application and data usage today and into the future. In addition, Sprint needs applications that customers want to use.

Sprint’s past and future is all about being leaders in data. We chose the CDMA technology because we believe future technology will be led by data usage.

We have a proven history of launching first in the industry with mobile video; the Sprint music store; and providing GPS services. We were also charter members of the Open Handset Alliance. Statistically, the number of Sprint customers who own smart phones has increased from 5% in 2005 to 35% today. There are an additional 10-15% of customers who own smart phones and data cards. It is clear there is a dramatic increase in the number of our customers buying smart phones.

This section describes why Sprint is in a unique position to achieve being the best value for our customers and what that means for you as a developer working with us.
