While every major cell phone company wants to be able to sell the iPhone due to its amazing popularity, it may not always be the best option for some companies.
Sprint, which recently started selling the iPhone on its network, reported its largest quarterly loss in three years last quarter.
This is attributed by many to be because of the subsidizing of the cost of the phone to new customers.
That is, of course, in addition to the $15.5 Billion dollar commitment to Apple to buy phones over the next four years.
The news is not all bad for sprint though, they signed up 161,000 new customers which they hope will help them return to profitability in the coming years.

Very bad for their company. Due to the increasing population of iPhone, a lot of businesses and companies loose almost millions or sometimes billions of their profit.

But often they “recoup” the costs after people sign their life away to a contract for a few years.

Maybe you’re right Christian. However, it is not good in the image of the company to recoup the costs for them to benefit.

Very true. It makes them look like they don’t know what they’re doing.

As someone who has never had an iphone but not really caught under their spell I am amazed how well they have taken off, I am now seeing them more and more in business places and pushing out BBs too, that really supprises me,

I was a strong BlackBerry user for years. I wasn’t completely “sold” on iPhones until last year.
After grabbing an iPhone4S, I can honestly say it’s revolutionized the way I community within my business – and I missed out on a lot by not throwing out my BB sooner.
It just works so well!

I think apple will have to do some more new releases of there upcoming new phone. With so many competitors they must need to stand up and make there products be no. 1 in all phones.

exactly, they need to keep transparency within their company in order to succeed for the long term. They wouldn’t want to become a “fad”.
