Sprint to kill off Hesse commercials for better or worse

Let’s face it, Sprint’s latest round of commercials haven’t exactly been well received. Many found Hesse’s attempt to be the “people’s CEO” laughable while a much smaller group thought it was cool that he wasn’t afraid to engage the public. How many other CEOs do people openly recognize other than titans like Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer? Regardless, Sprint has decided enough is enough and the run is no more. We’re not quite sure what route Sprint will be taking next in terms of advertising but with its Simply Everything plans bundling so many cool features at competitive pricing, perhaps it should use the money saved elsewhere while we await the Pre. Customer service maybe? After all, Sprint’s Customer Care department is thought by many to be one of the main reasons customers are ditching Sprint.

Thanks, Roger A!

    Like the Pre, Cedar and Maple should get some light. Dash, or Instinct 2 as want to call it, better get some tv time. I read somewhere that he may come back too, maybe to let the devices do the talking and then step back in

    Next thing you know, Sprint’s next ad campaign will tout that -their- phones operate *wirelessly*. ;) That should certainly bring back all the lost enterprise revenue.

    I got the last Hesse info from fiercewireless in case it was a little ambiguous. Will the dude sniffing my asshole stop following me, it’s making me feel uncomfortable

    I wonder if these advertised phones let you talk to other people …

    Could this Sprint network really be -that- advanced? …

    Old guy? Try friendly, approachable and distinguished 50-something man. Someday hopefully you will be an “old” person too and will realize how ignorant and ridiculous your commentary was.
