Sprint to Get Apple iPhone 5 - WSJ.com

Sprint Nextel Corp. will begin selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October 2011, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Sprint thinks getting the Apple iPhone will help Sprint reverse its post-paid subscriber slide in its most-recent quarter.

It is reasonable enough to believe that without the ability to sell the iPhone, Sprint simply is losing customers to AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

One salesman at an AT&T Wireless retail location said customers come in the door and "want the iPhone, even though we have lots of other interesting devices." Sprint needs the iPhone, for that reason.
