Sprint Goes Windows

I guess that I was a bit off by stating that sprint decided to go with just the green robot...

I'm excited to see the new Windows Phone they'll be rolling out.

But...

Why are they married to their physical keyboards?!?! I can't figure it out. Do they think they have the physical keyboard niche? Guess what; I bet the majority of the cell phone market-space could care less (sounds of the executives at TMobile and ATT laughing in their sleeves to be inserted here). Apple is evidence of that. Granted, I'm sure there are people out there that like them, but what would a slide out keyboard look like on the iPhone? How would that affect the sales of the iPhone? I doubt they'd gain much MORE market share?

If it's the niche thing... spend MORE on rolling out 4G.  I understand there's a cost difference, but it seems as though there has been very little focus on the importance of 4G; which, to me seems ridiculous.  I have an Epic, but having 4G means almost nothing; even though I live in the city.

To demonstrate how significant the potential market-space for 4G is, look at the Apple iPad 2...  3G!??  Seriously!??  On a device that screams for high speed and portability!??  If I were a carrier, I'd want all of those eggs in my basket.

They must be afraid of bandwidth usage or something... I'm very confused.  It seems to me that Sprint has a chance to gain a significant market share.
