Q: The big news at CES was the Palm Pre, a smart phone that will be exclusive to Sprint. How important is this phone to Sprint and how do you see this competing in the smart phone market?
A: In today's market, iconic devices, no question, they move the needle, they grab attention. And we're very excited about the Palm Pre. I will give (BlackBerry manufacturer) Research In Motion credit for creating a great business phone and the iPhone, I give it credit for being a great consumer device. This is the first one I belive that really crosses both. It's an outstanding business device and it's also a whole life consumer device. It's a combination of a superb touch screen with a physical keypad, which is, for a heavy e-mailer and texter, a must. We think it's going to be a very successful device.
We are going to see this phone pushed big time by Sprint! I expect to see Sprint run some very unique ads for this device. Something to set it apart from other phones.
