However, the WSJ article about the Sprint deal shows why Apple is a great investment. Sprint HAS to buy 30.5 million iPhones, no matter if they can sell them or not, over the next four years. Apparently Apple has similar deals with other carriers. How awesome is it to have guaranteed income four years out?

Yea thats pretty amazing.
FYI I heard that the sprint deal was 30 million phones for the right to sell the iphone 5 on their network, not exclusive.
I find it hard to believe that Apple would do an exclusive agreement in this space where everyone wants their product. 30 million is a drop in the bucket.
