   Sprint, according to the people I knew on Nextel, utterly and completely   
   fucked up everything about Nextel. At least one friend is still angry   
   about that and is very annoyed that T-mobile and Spring are merging   
   because he definitely doesn't want to ever give Sprint a dime.   
      
   I had a work-provided Nextel at one point, I think. That was the service   
   with the wealkie-talkie like mode on the phones, right?

   what is magic actually for?   
   For fixing things, dummy.
