Congratulations Sprint! The addition of the Sonim XP Strike to the new Sprint Direct Connect line of phones is great news. It fills a large gap in the SDC hardware lineup, and steals back a bit of thunder from ATT's full-court-press for Nextel customers with its new Enhanced PTT over LTE (ATT has had the Sonim PTT phone for awhile).

At last, a glimmer of hope that Sprint is taking more seriously the Nextel vanguard. Good news indeed.
