LG MM-535 vs. Sanyo MM-5600...FIGHT! (Please help)

alright, here's the sitch:
1) I'm a college student
2) I currently own the Audiovox 6600, which I like most of the time.
3) I don't like having to take the huge PDA phone out to the bars/parties...plus pain in the ass to find a number in the contacts while driving...which is a major disadvantage.

SO: I figure I'll get a second phone put on my bill so I can have one that fits/works for going out partying.

Problem: I *love* my mp3 ringtones...i love assigning different songs to different people. I've been trying to do research on the best phone to use for my purposes (I plan on forwarding calls from my 6600 or something...that's another issue that i'll probably ask advise on later), anyways...i've seen on both forums that both do and ...

Marketing?

I'm not trying to flame, but why did the marketing department seem to get a different coverage map for the commercials than is what is on the website? I saw one of the new commercials and at the end it said something about Sprint's network covering 290 million people and the map was GINORMOUS!

I thought to myself, "did Sprint sign all the roaming agreements and get the full CDMA map now?" So I went to the website and saw the same "blood vein" coverage for home network calling, not the blanket coverage that the commercial showed!

Explain? I'm so confused!

Thinking about going back to Sprint

I was with Sprint up to a few years ago, and left due to service problems, esp. when traveling out of town. Calls from my hometown, Chicago, would not go through, not even to voice mail.
Has the nationwide service gotten any better? Is the call quality generally good nationwide, and do calls from other cities go through OK?
Or, should I renew with Verizon for another year or 2? I like Sprint's plans and phones. But the most important thing to me is to get my calls wherever I am, and have good call quality.
Any advice?

Call quality - Motorola vs. others

I'm thinking about switching over to Sprint because of their superior coverage where I work. One major BEEF I have with all cellphone carriers is the tendency of their phones to "hang-on" to a marginal signal of their own carrier (instead of roaming), even when call quality suffers. Of course, the phones generally don't let you override and "force" them onto a particular network.

I read a few posts about the Motorola V60 which were encouraging as far as call quality, even with marginal signal. I basically want a phone that works, and if it needs to hop over to Verizon's network and "roam," then that should happen. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Question for sales or customer support.

Anyone else find the third party hotline a waste of f'ing time?

^^^^^^^^
Answer this, and maybe share a horror story.


Maybe sprint should just die already. Seriously, I had a customer switch to Verizon and cancel Sprint today because of the absolutely horrible 3rd party service (the elite crack team of super reps designed to help us, the salespeople, do our jobs efficiently.)


First girl, indian. Couldnt figure out what area code to give me, kept trying to give me numbers (area codes) out of IL (we are nowhere near IL). Puts me on hold. Cant figure out what to do to the account, asks me what plan she wants. Customer gets frustrated, wants to talk to rep. I get put on hold, hung up on.

Total call time: 25 mintues. (Our cordles...

hey Sprint_Gold_Spec can you clear up this tower mystery

I was speaking with a local brick and mortar agent the other day, and he told me something I don't think makes sense. He said that Sprint roams on all of the local Verizon towers. Being a current Verizon customer who has been searching for more dependable coverage, and having personally spent a good deal of time researching the local tower issue, this doesn't make sense to me. 4 years ago, Verizon customers were allowed to roam on the only local Sprint tower (yes, there's only one), and at some point that was closed to us. That's when signal got a lot worse at the house since the Sprint tower is closer to us than any of the Verizon towers. Currently I'm searching for a better solution, since Verizon seems to be like swiss cheese here. ...

The MM7400 and the & the 7300

Does anyone know when sanyo is going to release a phone like the mm7400 or 7300 that has that very durable feel and rubber covering on it? Both phones are nice but the amount of memory on each is very small and the camara is not a 1+megapix camara. Something the same size as each of them and a removable memory or something that has atleast 10 to 20 mb for storage. Any info will help thanks...

Looking for a Samsung A740 or A680

I'm looking for a Samsung PM/SPH-A740 or a Samsung VM A680. I'm just looking to buy the phone...no plan or anything, so I'm being asked for the original retail price. Well, I'm looking for something a tad cheaper. I've gone to ebay, but people seem to want the same phone...any other places to get this phone? Anyone selling one?
