Sprint's SERO Plans For Smartphones Remain Intact, Despite Rumors

Ahhh, rumors. Don't you just love them? They pull at your heart strings and crush your dreams, and Sprint is right in the middle of this one. In a surprising move, Sprint supposedly removed smartphones from their competitive SERO (Sprint Exclusive Referral Offer) plans (now refuted.) SERO plans uniquely include data usage in the plan fee and reflect a substantial savings from conventional plans. Either this was a case of bad timing of a system bug with their online SERO ordering or Sprint was actually kicking around the idea of limiting its SERO offerings, but regardless, both current and future SERO customers can breathe a sigh of relief. Sprint has issued the following clarification:

Large Defined Benefit Plans Produce Better Returns Than Comparable 401(k) Plans

From Spencer's Benefits Reports: Companies that sponsor both large defined benefit plans and 401(k) plans see better investment returns from their defined benefit plans, according to Watson Wyatt. This generally is true because larger plans have access to a wider variety of investment options and economies of scale. As reported in a recent Insider newsletter, Watson Wyatt used 5500 form data to calculate the median rate of return for plan sponsors that sponsored both a defined benefit plan and a 401(k) plan, each with at least 100 participants.

Workers contribute to 401(k) plans despite volatility: study

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Mutual-fund giant Fidelity Investments on Wednesday said despite a weak economy and volatile markets, a study showed workers boosted their average contribution to their corporate defined-contribution plans in the first half of 2008 compared with the same period last year. The company cited an analysis of its 16,723 corporate defined-contribution plans representing 11.5 million participants. "There is no doubt that American workers are feeling the pressure from escalating energy and food prices as well as a slumping real estate market, but the majority are making retirement a priority and staying the course," said Scott David, president of retirement services at Fidelity Investments, in a press release.

Sprint's HTC Touch Diamond Gets Photographed By Digital Camera From 1998

Nothing confirms that Sprint is indeed getting the HTC Touch Diamond like a blurry picture of the phone posted in some forum. You can't tell much, but you can see that TouchFLO 3D is still there, and that there's a big yellow Sprint sticker on the top right where the, uh, front camera is supposed to be. Either there's no front cam on this or your face is going to get a Sprint logo all over it during conversations (or it's on the left, but we can't make it out in this vaselined photo).

AT&T offering cheaper international iPhone data plans

As we have come to learn, some of AT&T's iPhone plans may be a bit on the expensive side at times, but the carrier at least gives you unlimited data access. Of course, if you go abroad with your iPhone, you'll be paying quite a bit more for data unless you have an existing data roaming plan. The iPhone is a bit more data-hungry than other 3G devices, so in order to capitalize on international travelers' needs, AT&T has added two new international data plans. $120 a month gets you a hefty 100MB of data while you're on the other side of the world, and shelling out $200 per month gets you 200MB of data. The plans can be added and removed any time you want.
