New Sprint Logo, or Old?

Searched and couldn't find anything fresh on this... Are the 6700's currently shipping with the old logo (as shown on the website) or the new one (as shown in the manual)?

Yeah, I know... trivial. But I couldn't believe how fast they've been making-over the stores here in Indianapolis.

TIA,
Todd/Indy

Re: New Sprint Logo, or Old?

The new Sprint logo coincided with the approval of the Nextel merger, didn't it? The completion of the first full 6700 production schedule had to have preceded that by at least a month.

I'm aware of when and why the logo changed. Just wondering if anyone had received a 6700 with the new branding.

I think that it is because there new logo is UGLY!. Who in there right mind has a black and yellow logo? Subconsciously those colors mean caution. Stupid move I think.

I just purchased a MM-2300 last week and it shipped with the new yellow logo. This was straight from Sprint PCS not a store.

Conjures up images of the Bad News Bees. I can live with that.
