every carrier has its issues. If he had said ATT I woulda cringed a little but its still a good carrier.

sprint has good data speeds though (cause no one is using them :mamoru: )

My advice to ANYONE looking to switch to ANY carrier.

Use the trial period. They all have them. Don’t port your number right away, it can create headaches if you hate the service and want to switch back.

within that period, make sure to pay lots of attention to your phone. most of us leave it alone untill we need it. You need to watch that thing, make calls, send texts, use data, everything. make sure it works where you need it.

I have also come to advise against 2 year contracts. going for the 12 month might cost an extra $50, but is so worth it to have the option to leave or get a new phone at that time.

That and a crazy attractive UI, analog and virtual keyboard, google sync, expandable memory (in regards to the iphone) and so on and etc.

Anyone who trashes it is either usually the worst apple humper or hasn’t picked up the phone themselves. Androids the shit, no ifs ands or buts.

That’s like Chevy introducing a new car with a carburetor and saying it was a “feature” so you won’t have to deal with that complicated fuel injection. Auto-flip FTW.

i’ve had sprint for a long time(7 years maybe?) anyway, always have had good luck with it

and moving from the ebay bought 6700(with insurance) to a 6800, hoping this breaks soon so i can get a touch pro or something…but yea

i would recommend it, dont listen to the haters… through evdo, usually get 7xx down and 200ish up speeds

^agreed. Believe it or not the main reason i got sprint originally was a $40 a month bill, and a phone that i could watch TV on… (working long internet-less hours at a hospital, i needed some entertainment) Now all the carriers can do this, but can they keep me happy with a ~50 dollar bill?) Doubtful, so until i need to change plans to unlimited, i will retain sprint for as long as possible.

Cricket for the win.

Honestly, my old roommate had it. He loved it. Data was good and cheap, never had a problem with coverage in Buffalo, and decent phones.

I love sprint and have been with them for 5 years now. I get service all over the place and can’t complain about a thing. There customer service has always been nice and helpful when I use them.
