Customers avoid Sprint in 1Q as suitors circle

Sprint - AP

The flow of new customers to Sprint stopped in the latest quarter, the company reported Wednesday as it weighed the offers of two corporate suitors. Sprint Nextel Corp., the country's third-largest cellphone carrier, said it added a net of just 12,000 customers to its Sprint brand in the quarter, and it would have lost 252,000 if it wasn't for Nextel customers moving over now that their network is being shut down.

Senh: Yay! Sprint can sell iPhones. Boo! They're losing money because iPhones are too expensive.
