Would You Switch to Sprint For Unlimited Data on the iPhone 5?

That's the question many will be pondering over the next month or so. It's widely expected that the iPhone will make the jump to its third official carrier when the iPhone 5 launches next month.

Sprint Drops Dime About iPhone 5 in Litigation Documentation

Some interesting information came out of federal court regarding Sprint's ongoing opposition of AT&T's T-Mobile acquisition.

The interestingly worded portion of the court filing states that “Sprint has had to compete without access to the iPhone for nearly five years.” Now of course, we and others could be reaching here, but the wording is most definitely eyebrow raising.

What particularly makes me curious, is the use of the word had, which of course, indicates past tense. It's widely expected that Sprint will finally even the playing field this fall when the iPhone 5 launches, and this just adds more fuel to an already smoldering fire...
