Palm Pixi seen running webOS 1.3.1 on video {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 5:54PM Yes- that is why I posted the correction - which is the very next line down but frequently I mess up on replies with engadget I think it will be a reply but it ends up as a new comment thread.

Nov 10th 2009 5:23PM I tried the palm pixi - wasn't impressed but it is always good to have choices. It seems like the secretaries I support like it but the guys don't. I wish Sprint would consider some high end phones like the HD2 along with the low end phones like the pixi.
NVIDIA tablet mystery solved: an ODM Tegra prototype {Engadget}

I could live with that schedule. I'd love to buy an ATI 5870 now but I want to see the benchmarks on the nVidia before I make a decision.

Nov 10th 2009 3:32PM Anyone find it strange nVidia isn't doing much to update us on the GT380 and other new GPUs? I know they've had fabrication issues but it seems odd there have been so little news leaking on the topic.

Sprint cutting up to 2,500 more employees from the payroll {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 1:51PM Sprint wasn't losing money on Sero - the costs for the plans was far above the monthly charges. Many of the Sero plans were more expensive than Tmobile regular plans. All killing SERO did was kill off Sprint's ability to gain new clients. Just another idea by Hesse to wipe out their client base so they can get approved for takeover and he can use his stock options to make another windfall at the expense of the company (as he's done in previous positions - just read up on his illustrious career).

Nov 10th 2009 1:48PM I thought the BAW community was a great idea, however since no policy makers at Sprint actually act upon any of the suggestions on that site no matter how many people agree, it is unfortunately of little value. If the top execs had read it and actually acted upon the most common suggestions Sprint might not be such a joke and the execs might not be considered criminally negligent.
The lazy nature of the Sprint brass in implementing even ONE idea of the more than 20 good suggestions I've seen on that site indicate their lack of concern for their companies spiral towards non existence.

Nov 10th 2009 11:40AM You may not call with the frequency I call. My computer clients have me support their phones and they hate calling Sprint so much that they pay me to call Sprint for them. I would say only one out of 2 new phones any of my clients gets is provisioned properly. I'd say I almost never have to call Verizon about it but I do call ATT on a regular basis as their BB's aren't provisioned properly a good deal of the time but it only takes one call with ATT to get that fixed. It usually takes about 30 minutes of call time per phone to call an average of 3 agents before you get one that knows how to provision a data phone for Sprint. As I say it could be poor training on the part of the reps, it could be that the Ensemble software package Sprint use isn't designed well (I've never seen it).
As for why the top execs suck so much I'm not sure. Their choices do seem quite idiotic but I'm sure they make many times what any of us make so maybe a smart person makes asinine decisions on the part of their company to make the big bucks.

Nov 10th 2009 9:54AM Their press release doublespeak was laughable, the fact that people are losing their jobs isn't. It is a shame the top execs who are driving Sprint into the ground aren't losing their jobs.
If Sprint listened to their customers instead of trying to piss them off they could be growing their customer base like every major AND minor cell provider.
I get good coverage with Sprint because of free roaming to Verizon but their selection of cell phones really really sucks. If their network wasn't locked, HTC, Samsung, Toshiba and others might be willing to make more cutting edge phones that we could use on the network. I'd love to get the HD2 - I'd sign up for another 2 years today if I could get the HD2 or the TG01 or something other than the pixie crap and moment they are pushing. Now that HTC is advertising Sprint will consider more phones if they are endorsed by a scary orange haired chick.
Verizon unfortunately doesn't have the HD2 so I have no desire to move the them and coverage sucks for me with T-Mobile and ATT so until Verizon gets the HD2 or TG01 there is little reason for me to move but I do admit Sprint customer service and top management suck. Customer service may just be a lack of training. Bad management may just be a lack of intelligence.
