My new job…

I recently to started a new job with Sprint and Nextel customer care.  The company I work for is contracted by Sprint to provide various solutions to customer problems.  In the beginning the thought of sitting in a tiny cubicle all day listening to people complain about their bills seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. I actually really enjoy the job so far. I’m still in training and won’t be on the floor taking calls for at least another week, but the information I am learning about the cell phone market and the products that Sprint offers in awesome.  I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about what is available in the technological market, but in my smalltown in Ontario, Canada I had no idea that such wireless Internet products were available on cell phones.  Sprint offers a wireless USB and other mobile cards to put in laptops or other mobile electronics so that you can access their cell phone network using it as wireless Internet. Sprint recently urged with a European company called clearwire to create a faster wireless network called Wimax. This network will allow broadband speeds that right now are virtually unheard of.  Another exciting arrival to Sprint services that will be released later this quarter a new cell phone by the name of Instinct will be released.  The Instinct’s planned to be a direct competitor to Apple’s iPhone.  Made by Samsung this new phone along with Sprint’s 3G networking will provide blazing fast speeds at a lower cost than Apple can offer.  While all of this is exciting that’s all it will be for now to me.  In Canada I still have to deal with super high prices, unavailability, and lack of coverage… Woopie!
