Last earnings report stated somewhere around 5 million. It will be interesting to see now that the migration effort has begun, how many subscribers will be left.
“Right now, I’m glad we have the iDEN network,” Hesse said. “I wouldn’t have said that 18 months ago, but I am now ... from a financial perspective.”
NEXTEL. Done. I guess that's "Life at SprintSpeed"

We honor his memory.
i wish to see their earning reports after this is all done and said, to see how many people actually left sprint completely because of this. I know 25 lines of ours are going to completely change carriers. Sprint was always terrible and nextel was the only thing keeping us.
Dan Hesse is lucky he was given forever to turn things around. Most other companies would have booted a CEO that took as long as he did. Sprint is a distant third because for all their strengths, they still screw up (getting the iphone but overloading the network, improving customer service then ticking them off with throttling, starting the prepaid unlimited wars with Boost iden then raising prices on VM/BM, buying out Wimax with a 4g headstart and then covering only 80 million people while rival Verizon started years later with LTE and will be covering 200 million, and on and on and on.)
Sprint has something going for them. It's called plain dumb luck.
And yeah, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Despite iden's limitations, they helped save Sprint's butt in one of the worst times in their history. A lot of thanks it got eh?

They only showed the numbers of converts in one quarter report. Probaly they don't want to show how many cdma adds were from Iden as then I would have shined some light on the real amount of people are leaving cdma and they wouldn't be able to blame all there problems on Iden then They have purposely disadvantaged Iden users with handset selection for a purpose and have stated they were doing it
Finally , hard numbers in from this excellent article on the Sprint monkey on Nextel's back...There are 6.3 million of us left. 4.3 million Nextel postpaid and 2 million Boost iden prepaid.
