Published on April 24, 2013, by Admin - AllPhoneNews in iMore.com.

Sprint has announced their Q1 2013 financial results and in addition to a lot of other, sometimes weirdly acronym’d, numbers, out of 5 million smartphones sold, 1.5 million were iPhones. Eighty-six percent of quarterly Sprint platform postpaid handset sales were smartphones, including more than 1.5 million iPhones sold during the quarter. Forty-three percent of iPhone sales were to new customers, a rate that continues to outperform larger competitors. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse: This is a transformative year for Sprint and we’ve gotten off to a good start. Record Sprint platform service revenue and subscriber levels fueled our performance

Travel back to the time of Mobile World Congress and you’ll surely recall the LG Optimus F7, a well-specced mid-tier smartphone that left us quite impressed. Now, @evleaks has shared a peek of the device that’s adorned with the Now Network’s branding, and if all goes according to plans, the serial leaker suggests the phone will soon hit Sprint-owned Boost Mobile. A few notable features of the Optimus F7 include a 4.7-inch True HD IPS display, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, an 8-megapixel primary camera, 2GB RAM and Android 4.1.2, which would pose a heavy challenge to Boost’s current premiere smartphone, the HTC One SV. Naturally, we’d certainly welcome the Optimus F7 on Sprint (and even Virgin Mobile), and given the Sprint Zone branding, we’ll remain cautiously hopeful that Dan Hesse is thinking the same.Filed under: Cellphones, Mobile, LGCommentsSource: @evleaks (9to5Google)

You’ve been eying the HTC One’s zero-gap body for well over a month, and now it’s your chance to do something about it. AT&T is launching its promised pre-order campaign for the One today: soon, if not as you read this, upgraders and new subscribers can plunk down as little as $200 for a 32GB model or $300 for the network-exclusive 64GB edition. While these buyers likely won’t get their phones until closer to the April 19th store date, that free Media Link HD offer remains on the table to encourage an early commitment. And those who prefer service from the House of Hesse don’t have long to wait, either — Sprint’s pre-orders for the One begin tomorrow, with a similar $200 outlay involved for the 32GB variant

Softbank not ruling out a possible Sprint bid for MetroPCS

Sprint has finally confirmed that it will be taking a controlling stake in previous partner Clearwire. Now, even more interesting statements are coming out in regards to a possible bid for MetroPCS. Most assumed that with a confirmed buyout by Japanese carrier Softbank, Sprint was done trying to get in between a T-Mobile / MetroPCS merger. According to statements by CEO of Softbank Masayoshi Son and CEO of Sprint Dan Hesse, this may not be the case. Hesse, in a quote obtained by The Wall Street Journal, indicated that the structure of the Softbank buyout is set up in a way that gives Sprint cash to work with if a possible deal with MetroPCS arises: “Think of it almost as an insurance policy.

Sprint may be considering counter offer for MetroPCS

Following yesterday's news that T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS would be officially commencing a reverse takeover (where the smaller company takes over the larger), we're hearing today that the deal may be getting even more interesting. Sprint, which had plans to buy MetroPCS previously, may be considering offering a higher amount for the company than what is currently agreed upon between T-Mobile and MetroPCS. If you'll recall back to Sprint's first attempt to buy out MetroPCS for $8 billion, CEO Dan Hessewas reportedly hours away from closing the deal when it was overturned by the board of directors. Now that the threat of a combined T-Mobile / MetroPCS is all too real, Sprint may be more motivated to keep these two apart this time around. Source: BusinessWeek

Betting on the wrong wireless technology (WiMax, anyone?) has caused Sprint’s 4G LTE deployment to lag behind its rivals – especially Verizon, which has now covered 75% of the U.S. population with its LTE network, across over 370 markets. Despite the disadvantage, Sprint announced that it has so far sold more than 1 million LTE-equipped

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse already confirmed that the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE was coming “very soon,” but now we’re able to affirm even more details surrounding the launch. With Sprint’s LTE network finally live in select cities, employees are now undergoing training regarding the device — something that typically means that a launch onto store shelves is imminent. Thanks to our source and the photos seen here, we’ve been able to confirm that the 4.3-inch superphone will ship with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1,785mAh battery (non-removable), WiFi, GPS, 3G / 4G LTE radios, 8GB of internal storage space and built-in NFC. Perhaps the most prominent feature is the five-row QWERTY keyboard, alongside the adjustable LED edge lighting. Other specs include an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, an “HD” front-facing camera and perhaps most curiously, a skinned version of Ice Cream Sandwich that fails to mention the word “Motoblur.” We’re still trying to lock down an exact price and release date, and will update this post if and when those tidbits roll in.

Sprint’s deal with Apple for the iPhone will ultimately prove “quite profitable” for the carrier, said CEO Dan Hesse during a company shareholder meeting on Tuesday. The pact will end up costing $15.5 billion by the end of 2015, which has prompted some worried shareholders to challenge it. Hesse in fact recently returned $3.25 million in personal compensation back to Sprint when it was pointed out that the company hadn’t factored in the impact of the iPhone before tallying worker bonuses.
