I got an email today from Sprint inviting me into their Ambassador program. Apparently they are inviting bloggers (I was about to say "select bloggers," but I realized that any group of bloggers that includes me can't possibly be "select" in any way.) to try out their new EV-DO service along with a Samsung phone for free for 6 months in exchange for some "feedback."
Of course, my first thought was that if I went to the website link in the email I would be sending my bank account information to every corner of Nigeria, but after a quick check around the Internet it seemed to check out as legit.
So, if Sprint (and Samsung) has the guts to let a fairly random group of bloggers post the good, bad and ugly of their service, well then, who am I to argue. So, I'll be posting my experiences here since that's clearly what they want. I will try to remind you that I'm getting this stuff for free every now and then so you can take that into account when you read my feedback. Next task is to find out how much this would cost me if I walked into a Sprint Store. There's no way I can really judge this thing without a real feel for how much it would otherwise be taking out of my pocket.
Let's see.
any way you can share the love with me? ;) pretty please?

Hey Enoch,
If I could I would! Probably not that effective to share the phone since we're 3K miles apart. ;-)
I have no idea how or why I was selected. It just arrived at my inbox...
If Sprint ever decides to hold a General Assembly of it's Ambassadors, I'll try to find out who the Secretary General is and put in a good word for you...
