i550
Beautiful equipment...and as far as carriers...Sprints digital technology far exceeds Ver (what it's name)...anyway if you are a smart Sprint user you will add the $5 monthly fee for Sprint Free & Clear and guess what you are available to roam on Verizon's network for that fee...sounds like you get excellent cutting edge technology and coverage...bases loaded Verizon...now...Can you hear me now???

Just out of curiosity, what part of Sprint do you work for?
Nobody in this industry can love a carrier that much. Every company has warts - even Verizon.

I'm not in the industry unfortunately...however, I do have a profound respect for those who push the technology envelope.

That we can agree on. It amazes me that Verizon can have such good coverage, yet their phones are nowhere near as advanced as Sprint's. I've heard the argument that Verizon tests their phones longer, but that doesn't hold water.

I've had Sprint for about 2 1/2 years now, and it's true that there have been times when I've wanted to tear my hair out.
The supposed 3G service operates at maybe 5-12Kbs-WOW. I can be holding my phone perfectly steady, and yet, the service will suddenly tell me that I'm out of the service area! That's when I have three or four signal bands! I also couldn't use the phone in my company when those with Verizon could.
But, it seems to have improved. While downloads are still real slow (I use a Samsung i330), they don't drop out nearly as much. And we moved our company several months ago to a new location a few blocks away, and guess what? Now I can use my phone throughout the place, but the Verizon people can't. This is in Manhattan.
