Mobile Notes: Sprint, Google, BlackBerry, Carphone Warehouse

by Joe P on May 12, 2008

All the hoopla in the mobile world this morning is about the new BlackBerry, which was announced at midnight. It’s called the BlackBerry Bold. Look for it on AT&T sometime this summer. Until then, your links:

  • Best Buy has sunk $2.1 billion into Carphone Warehouse. The two companies will now combine in the U.S. and Europe, and new European stores will be branded Best Buy.
  • While the other carriers are gaining, Sprint lost a million customers in the first quarter. Sales were down 9 percent. Rumors continue that they’re looking to dump Nextel.
  • Google and Sprint are teaming up to add Google applications to Sprint phones. Not a bad deal. Google wants to get into the mobile realm, and Sprint wants to stay alive. Perhaps they can achieve their goals concurrently.
