I'm still waiting for the actual pre-order to open on the 20th, gonna see what the leasing offer looks like if it's too high I'll cancel. I figure my 10+ is $41.67 so a monthly payment of $55 or so wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
I see the value in a combined network, for the past few years Sprint has just stalled and hasn't improved much. So if the merger fails and Sprint just becomes a small carrier in specific areas it has no value to me.
