Sprint will start selling the new Star Wars droid toy in all its stores (incl. acquired Radioshacks) and online. The droid can be controlled by your phone.

I got a few in. They are fun as hel. Ive been driving it around all day, even let it run around on its own which was cool until I couldn't find it for 10 minutes.

"Until I couldn't find it for 10 minutes"...That part is almost cute until I remind myself that we're talking about a robot!

Has nothing to do with Sprint at all but I must agree, just watching the video of it the damn thing looks cool as hell. I'd get one if I had disposible cash (or was a star wars geek...............totally not buying opening night tickets....)...

 

see:

I am in no way a Star Wars fan but this thing is beyond cool. I think I may pick up one.

Really. That's one less latte a month. Lol

I'm still shocked that Sprint is offering that toy. Now if they start offering the drone in shape of the Millennium Falcon, I'm going to freak out.

In this case he was referring to Sprint.

[PythonFanPA]

Yep, my bad, missed the context.

With all the hubbub about PRLs, RootMetrics and Star Wars toys, nobody noticed this press release

I did, just didn't have time to mention myself from yesterday, Sprint tweeted it.​

Congrats to Sprint on landing this. It's a solid accomplishment!

[Fraydog]

Wait, doesn't SoftBank have contracts with Disney in Japan? Now Sprint forcing AT&T exclusivity out of Disney parks with a small cell installation there would be excellent. Please do this, Sprint.

Nice! I hope this means Los Angeles will get some priority for NGN.

LA is already a priority market....

What about the Detroit market? Just curious.

No, the cops aren't welcome there.

I agree with the article but find it poorly written. It rambles needlessly and suffers numerous grammatical errors. But I am glad to see some positive press, no matter how poorly written.

Sprint just needs to figure out what the next big Uncarrier thing is and do it before T-Mobile does. That seems pretty straightforward, right?

That's funny but true.

In a way they did with leasing since T-Mobile did that second. JOD was an Amped though, not a separate Uncarrier. Probably a good reason for that (because Sprint did it first). There is precedent. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

"Since our testing in March, T-Mobile’s median download speed decreased from 9.8 Mbps to 6.8 Mbps"

 

Ouch!

[NYC126]

So Sprint went from last place in the second half of 2014 to first place during the 2015 second half.

 

But but Sprint network is not improving. Also they are in first place in speed even with Verizon and their XLTE.

 

Oh yeah the whole rude awakening is not joke anymore.
