Greetings!   I have been with Sprint Nextel for almost three years.  In that time I have learned a lot, both directly and anecdotally, about what our customers think of us via other boards, in our retail stores, reading emails, the list is pretty longnot all the stories are good.   Here are some of the weaknesses I have heard from you: • We don’t listen. • We have lost the human side.  • We haven’t really helped

The pictures you have seen so far in the Featured Phone Pics section have all been taken by Sprint Employees.  I don't think we should be having all the fun so we are now opening the Featured Phone Pics section to the public.  I'm sure there are some amateur Annie Leibovitz and Ansel Adams out there who would like nothing more than to display some of their finer mobile masterpieces.

  In his book The Power of Mobility , Sprints director of corporate strategy, Russ McGuire claims that mobility is having as big of an impact on how we live and work as the Internet did 10-15 years ago and the PC did 20-25 years ago. Specifically Russ calls out how, by building mobility into products, services, and processes, companies can create tremendous new value for customers, can clearly differentiate

Because of the recent rumors about the LG Rumor our Product Management Team asked me to set up a board to discuss the LG Rumor specifically and messaging devices in general.  Take a look at the LG Rumor Discussion with Sprint Product Management board . http://forums.buzzaboutwireless.com/baw/board?board.id=LGRumorwSprintPM

As Will and I have said in other posts, Buzz About Wireless is intended to be a place for all wireless users to engage in discussions about what services best suit their needs.  In order to further that mission I've added a new category to the forums where people can discuss other wireless carriers.  While Sprint employees may not be able to contribute significantly to those conversations it does give us a place

The Announcements Board has been put in place to give the Buzz About Wireless Administrators an easy way to post community announcements.  Only Admins can post to this board, though anyone can reply to our messages.  As we make changes to the site or do anything else that we want you to know about, we'll post to this board.   Tristan Message Edited by Tristan on 01-28-2008 11:43 AM

We also have not had much traffic on the Business Board so I moved all of these post to Customer Service or Phones & Devices, depending on the message.  A business section will be back.  We just need to determine how to generate higher levels of participation to make the information more useful.     Tristan

You may notice this morning that I have added a new category and moved a couple of boards around.  I am working on expanding a few categories, like customer service, and consolidating some of the smaller boards.  If you think something is missing please check this announcements board to see where I moved it.   Thanks,   Tristan

I moved all of the messages in the "Commercials Board" to the Wireless News Section.  Though I really enjoyed those conversations there were not enough to keep a board open.   Tristan

Question, Tristan.. With this first live event, is there a way to "save" it in this thread, or maybe a archive? I am sure that there will be people wanting to read over the q & a.. and it sure is different lol.. I think I was expecting something else, like maybe this done by streaming video? or that could be a thought for later, if the lkive events go great, which I am sure they will be.. Thanks..
