Looks like the department of justice didn't Like the merger between tmo and ATT and decided to stop the deal..they say it would hinder competition..anyways don't know if its over but not looking good..if I was a tmo user I would be jumping for joy
I went from TMobs to Sprint because of this deal, love my Evo, but miss the HSPA+ network.
I just dropped my evo to go to tmobille.. lolz I'm super happy!!!

They didn't stop the deal. They put up a lawsuit to stop it.
Bloomberg is reporting that the United States government just filed court papers in Washington, D.C. to block the much ballyhooed tie-up between AT&T and T-Mobile USA.

I switched from T-Mobile to Sprint, although that was not the only reason.

So this lawsuit will proceed, palms will get greased, the merger will eventually go through. Then there is the facade of due process. If they just let it pass there would be a lot of noise. But quickly going at it in court, for show, will appease most people. "Hey, they went to court and the court found blah blah blah, it must be better than I thought." World keeps on turnin'.
Sad. Really. I'm so jaded that I'm suspicious of the silver lining, the cloud, the sun, and the sky. The moon is probably in on it too.

LMAO! That made my day.
I seriously hope the merger dies an a void stamped death & T-Mobile gets a boost of life back into it.
AT&T & Deutsche Telekom can go teabag a giraffe.

SMH.... Read around bro, please, for the benefit of yourself and the greater good. Don't be a Sucker.
Also: check att's leaked documents regarding the merger. Shows how what you are looking for won't happen as they dont actually intend on doing it.... Quite the opposite.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Actually thought it said they intend on doing it. I the point of the leaked doc was that so far at has said they can't do it without tmobile. But in the doc it showed the cost for att to do the buildout and it was extremely less than the price they are paying for tmobile. This creates a problem and shows they are doing the merger for other reasons than the main one stated which is a big no no.
If the deal still goes through rest assured that there will be some big restrictions or stipulations surrounding it now.

Although I very much dislike apple, I still respect Jobs. It is very clear that he was a very remarkable and brilliant man who has contributed greatly to his field and the world. It is truly unfortunate that he has passed at just 56 years of age. The world of computing has lost one of its greatest members. RIP

I signed up for it too. I call bull**** on this contest. I bet they were hoarding emails for spam.

I think the last thing on Sprint's mind right now is the contest, they have big issues right now. Having your flagship Android phone blocked by customs is a scary thing, they're losing pre-orders everyday the phone is held up.
I think apple won the who is the biggest d bag in the tech industry contest yesterday

What contest??? Evo LTE contest?
He's talking about the galaxy nexus "Datastorm" contest from about 2 months ago I presume. My understanding was they don't typically release names, but you can (snail) mail to request the list of winners.
I think that most of these contests are bunk, I entered one around superbowl time for one of the new thin super laptops from asus.
As soon as the super bowl was over the ads all but disappeared, they said they'd announce the winners on facebook, I checked for two weeks from the time they said they'd announce it but it never happened.
Could it be some sort of marketing tactic? To just say your giving something away but put it in the fine print that it's all bogus, come to think of it I have never actually read ALL of the fine print.
Just called to see how my preorder is going and the guy told me NO EVOs are currently in the USA and are still in customs. With ignorance like this working at BB ill never get my phone...

Well I just preordered last Thursday. I think it maybe a tad premature to start complaining.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Check this out, live in a city called Oxnard in California. I've been calling stores looking for the phone. Today a best buy in another city, Thousand Oaks, said they had 2, which was perfect, since me and my dad both are making the upgrade. We drove an hour and a half away through memorial day traffic to go get them. (We both thought it was too good to be true.) Well we finally made it there safely, with both our moods great, especially since we've been waiting for this phone like crazy. We walk into the store (Best Buy Mobile) and are ready to make our purchases.
Guess what... The fukkface was confused with the O.G. model. They at minimum could have gave me a $10 BB Card, but no, they were instantly rude. This could have easily ruined my day. (which I think it did, but I'm in denial of being angry. LOL)
To answer your question, I do not know exactly, but I believe they are still periodically being checked by customs, but not held like crazy like they were before. My local Sprint store told me my pre order would be in by Wednesday.

This is going to really interesting to watch play out. Although we'll probably have to wait a good year before anything even begins to come from it.
In the mean time there's the final result of apple vs. Samsung.
Crapple pisses me off, why doesn't mercedes sue every car manufacture, they all copied them, why don't the wright bros sue boeing for copying them, it's just utter nonsense, why don't they (crapple) take all they're money that they are spending on lawyers and give instead to all those chinese works that spend all day cranking out crapple products for 3 dollars a day, greed bastards, f- - k you Steve Jobs, you're exactly where you belong, in a cold dark place, R.I.P ASS*OLE

Im with this, in the car industry (I work in this industry). Crap like patent wars hardly ever happen.
And your bang on most of the tech in cars is seen in mercedes first. (blind spot warning, auto cruise control, laser guided lane tracking, edb, etc.etc.)

If apple just kept their mouths shut in the first place, they wouldn't have gotten themselves into this.
I mean come on now,

They started something they didn't plan on finishing, and now its comin back to get them. They're just jealous that there are more Android users than iPhone users
