I jest… of course it’s not missing anything but the included documentation surely left gaping holes that needed to be filled, right?

Could Palm Pre Be Coming to Prepaid Service Customers?

Sprint Nextel announced via press release that they are purchasing Virgin Mobile USA for around $483 million USD.
