I enjoyed your update, but have one question.
Where is your source? I work in a Sprint store and would love to be able to tell customers the news of everything happening earlier than previously known, but I don't want to spread a rumor that may not be valid.
It's not that I don't trust you, I just need to be sure. 🙂
