According to a link in another thread on the Telegraph UK, it sounds like a merger is possibly in the process between T-Mobile and Sprint. If this is true I think we can see what 'Project Black' truly is.
Personally I think it is a new market approach that would be lead by high end non-osx phones at the lowest cost on a very fast network.

this is what i say:
Why do people swear that everyone wants a data phone. There are customers who come in my store simply to want a usable phone and the demand for internet access on the go is not that serious. i say if tmobile got a lot more people say 30m more so thats near 60m chop half that in half who would actually be using data a lot maybe less than that. Its us geeks who use internet so much and we are a small percentage.
There are people who want to buy the G1 for the appeal and only use it for texting i kid you not. to date the G1 and Mytouch probably sold lets say somewhere under 7m i really can't speak for the number someone correct me but what other phone really strains the network? Behold hell no, blackberries ... doubt it. All in all i don't think it should be 50 dollars (from a non-consumer point) in my humble opinion cause they can make more money.
I think they should make the current loyalty plan (including text though) made for everyone not a "all-in-one" 50 dollar plan and data be separate for people who want to use it pay for it. Also you have to take into account most people are on flex pay too so if flex pay customers even the annual cannot utilize this they still will be making profit.

Exactly, plus if the 4G is rolled out more extensively on both it'll make it easier to combine both networks, from my understanding.
