i am a sprint customer and i hate this move. the android market may be chaotic but there is more freedom for the user. this is a dangerous move for sprint. android will only gain in market shares baring any great upset in the current trends.

This is besides the point. Android seems to sell 3-4 phones to each iPhone sale (citation needed) so sprint is cutting itself off from 20ish percent of the market. That's what matters. Quenching the bleeding might be another perspective.
