Bloomberg reports that Deutsche Telekom and Sprint are discussing merger of T-Mobile USA and Sprint. This would be an interesting merger since currently T-Mobile USA is using GSM while Sprint is using CDMA. Then again, the merger would happen after both companies roll out their LTE network.
Should the merger happen today, the slogan could be:
“SprinT-Mobile USA, We still ain’t got the iPhone.”

It seems that I’ll be getting Nexus One, the fabled Google phone. Since Reuters broke the story and picked up by the Android Guys; it is really likely I’d be getting Nexus One this January 2010.
From Android Guys:
Here’s the price: $199 unlocked in stores. $100 rebate online if you have an active and old Google account. That $100 rebate is either to buy it $99 online from Google’s online phone store, for using on Android Marketplace or for using on any Google Checkout stores. Can also be used for T-Mobile or AT&T pre-paid Data SIM card service at $29 per month, no contracts required.
What does “old Google account” mean?
I know that I have google account when it was first in invitation only phase.
We’ll find out in January 2010.
p.s. I read it via Hacker News.
