Sprint announced today it’s new forward looking plan to empower the consumer to do… well, I’m not really sure, but it’s got to be something.

Sprint’s new slogan…

“Sprint. Power Up.”

As catch as “Sprint, Together with Nextel” is, I am always a fan of references to Super Mario. Anytime I can use my phone and power up will be a good day in my book.

Their latest press release stated that “Sprint believes its power should be in the hands of the customer.” Saying thinds like their “holding lightening in a jar,” and “the industry’s most fair and rich calling plans.” Well I’d like a cross service provider comparison to see who really does have the most fair and rich (what the hell does rich mean anyway) calling plans. I’d imagine not Sprint.

Really if you dig through their whole Sprint Press realease you can’t find a damn thing that will be new and improved to empower the sprint customer. It looks like the same Sprint Suckage as before.

We’ll see though.

We would have thought disney would have put into their licensing agreement with Sprint PCS that Sprint couldn’t come out with phones that would one up their Disney collection but maybe the execs at Disney, or maybe Sprint are just banking on the Disney name to sell more useless phones.

And if that wasn’t confusing then you’ll love the fact that I am pleased (no sarcasm there) to announce that Sprint has finally found a purpose for adding that dang locational GPS to your cell phones 5 years ago.

They’re newest phones, such as the Sanyo 2400 Sprint PCS Vision Phone will allow parents to not only control who they call and who can call them, but will allow parents to know where their children are at all times.

This new service now works on 30 phones from Sprint (I didnt’ even know they had that many phones) and allows the parent to keep track of 58 children. Great, now a football coach can keep track of all his boozing football players.

This seems to be a positive direction for sprint phones and technology in general. Not sure how many parents will use this feature. Probably the parents who didn’t let their kids cross the street in the first place but at least it’s available to those who allow them to go clubbing at the age of 12.
