I am unsure that lack of iPhone is Sprint's sole big problem. For some time now they have messed up with 4G and their 3G speeds aren't anything to write about either. And last time I drove through the US across 4 states my wife's Epic 4G had the least coverage. And iPhone is more available today - you can buy it unlocked, you can buy it on AT&T or Verizon. So the only people that are really going to buy iPhone on Sprint are the smaller number that have only Sprint coverage (theoretical - not sure if that is valid) and only want an iPhone. The second smaller group will be the people within Sprint's 4G coverage areas that like Sprint's data plan better - as the speeds aren't all that great on WiMax compared to competition.
