Sprint announced today that it will be cutting back internal and external labor costs by at least $350 million in the 4th quarter of 2009. This includes layoffs of 2,000 to 2,500 positions within the company. They said most of the impacted positions will be eliminated by December 31, 2009.

“The reduction impacts positions companywide, including those previously announced this month in the Wholesale organization, as well as a reduction in contractor and other outside labor. The company is taking this action in a careful manner to ensure that there is no impact on the improved customer experience that has been reflected in much higher levels of satisfaction in customer surveys and in independent performance tests. Sprint has pledged to not waver on the company’s commitment to quality service and products.”

There are several major different selling points of the iPhone. The biggest one in my opinion - IT JUST WORKS. No need to unlock and flash a custom ROM, no need to soft-reset, Just click your app and BOOM – it opens. Now I will admit that there are several major problems with the iPhone like the OS, the network, the battery being fixed, no hardware keyboard among others, and I would never get one. And yes, some of these problem can be fixed with aftermarket products. And I have several on my iTouch. But the one thing I have never seen a fix for was the network. Still leaning out of my window to get a 3G fix. Well, until now.

Several months back, I was looking into getting Boost. The reason being that they have unlimited talk (as well as everything else) for $50 a month. A price, that until now, has been exclusive to pre-paid mobile carriers. None of the big 4 (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile) have offered such a low price.

Apparently, T-Mobile saw my envy of such a low price because today they launched a similar plan. You heard me, $50 for unlimited talk. With everything will be another $30. Not a bad deal.

According to them, it’s mobile communications that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Lets see if other carriers follow suit.

Watch the video here.

Combine this with a HD2 and I might just switch.

Yeah, that’s right, Verizon Broadband Data has gone prepaid! Starting November 16th, the Verizon Wireless USB760 will be available with a $15 daily access rate (with a 75MB allowance). If that’s not good enough, they’re also offering a weekly rate of $30 for 250MB, or $50 per month for 500MB.

The card has a memory slot that will make it work like a USB thumb drive and up to 8GB of storage. Oh yeah, and it’ll work on both Windows and Mac!
