Good point, but you know how the market reacts to such bad info...

It's all about the earnings, and they'll be bad. Probably worse than
expected once you factor in additional subscriber loss to (for
example) AT&T from customers that left Sprint to get an iPhone. Apple
sold 1.119 Million iPhones last quarter and although a small number of
them may hack them to use on other carriers (not compatible with
Sprint's network), most of those subscribers will be headed to AT&T
and they have to come from somewhere and since I doubt they are all
first time phone owners, a good portion of them will come from Sprint.

It'll be ugly, but will present a good buying opportunity within a
week or so after the dip.

The Google/Sprint alliance is the bright spot. After they announce
earnings, at some point, there will be a good buying opportunity.
