NEW YORK, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Sprint Corp is in norush to follow the strategy of smaller rival T-Mobile US, which plans to cut back on offering BlackBerrysmartphones, the chief financial officer of the No. 3 U.S.mobile operator said on Thursday.
After presentation at the Goldman Sachs Communacopiaconference, Sprint CFO Joe Euteneur said his company would takea "wait-and-see" approach before making any decisions onBlackBerry, the struggling Canadian smartphone maker that hasseen demand for its devices shrink rapidly and is narrowing itsmarketing efforts to businesses.
Euteneur acknowledged that Sprint may not want to rock theboat among business customers, which have typically been thebiggest fans of BlackBerry smartphones.
On Wednesday, No. 4 U.S wireless operator T-Mobile US toldReuters it would no longer stock BlackBerry Ltd phonesin its stores, but would ship the devices to any consumers whocome in to order a BlackBerry.
While T-Mobile is primarily known for serving consumers,Sprint has a long history of supplying businesses withcellphones particularly on its iDen network, which came from anacquisition of Nextel in 2005.
At the end of June Sprint shut down the Nextel network,which was based on out-dated technology. It is instead focusingits efforts on modernizing the original Sprint network.
But Sprint has lost customers of both networks as a resultof the shutdown. Companies that used the iDen network, are alsomoving their workers from the Sprint network.
Bigger U.S. operators Verizon Wireless andAT&T Inc both still sell BlackBerry phones in theirstores.
Lowell McAdam, Chief Executive of Verizon Communicationstold Reuters this week that any Verizon Wireless decision aboutBlackBerry would depend on its customers' wishes.
After shocking investors with a financial warning on FridayBlackBerry said on Monday that it had agreed to be bought by aprivate firm but some investors were doubtful as to whether thedeal will end up closing.
