People don't want a "giant touch screen phone." They want a phone that has a truly powerful web browser, email client, is quick in all of its actions, reliable, and good looking.

That's why the iPhone is a success. A crummy touch-screen feature phone is not a competitive response. But whatever, not like you have any customers left.

You may think you can fool everyone else, but just because you got banned from every web forum on the planet doesn't mean you can fool me.

Do yourself a favor and go feel up your t608

Guess thats why the iphone sold so many? Have you used the internet on the iphone, (white phones arent popular) quick? Guess you havent used the data on a REV A yet. O, dont forget the reliablity when you have to send the phone off for a battery replacement. I think the iphone runs a 400 to 600 Mhz processor, this phone will have a 1.0 Ghz processor. What about speed again?

the iPhone surfs the web faster than most of Sprint's EV-DO phones. Battery replacement is as simple as going into an Apple store and walking out, and the batteries on iPhones last longer than the lifespan of most Sprint phones to begin with.

Right, right....that's why iphone users are complaining about unreliable data speeds left and right. They sold because of the power of the apple brand name. The phone itself freezes all the time as it isn't capable of high data speeds. Good try though, if it worked. Nice $135 unlimited voice data and text plan....boy that's pricey. Hearing footsteps...uhoh!

"iphone users are complaining about unreliable data speeds left and right"

Really? Because it's leading consumer satisfaction surveys (79% satisfaction according to Changewave, highest phone in Sprint's lineup has 54%), and there aren't that many Apple fanboys out there. And why would iPhone owners complain when their phones lacking "high data speeds" load web pages faster than the LG Voyager, Blackberry Curve, and HTC Mogul?

Oh, and Sprint's $100.00 "unlimited" plan isn't valid on their highest rated smartphone (Blackberry.) But worry not, I'm sure AT&T users are ready to flock to Sprint to use their screwy billing, terrible coverage, and worst-in-industry customer service.

🤣 hahaha it's funny when people defend and fight for companies....ya'll crack me up no joke...like little boys bitchn on forums about a fckn phone...it's great!!! all i know is that att runs on edge they will barely move to evdo since they purchased a lot of aws spectrum, so att n tmobile will catch up with sprint....i dont think sprint has crappy coverage, why else wud they have 17 mvno's under their belt? too much spectrum....that's just my opinion...

I see you have alot of 'opionion' on how much Sprint sucks. But if you are going to bash them, at least get your facts straight. Sprint DOES offer "Simply Everything" for BlackBerry.

My bad, you are right. Unless you want BES service, in which case you must pony up an additional $20.00/month.

Hitting nerves...by the way only one of the phones you listed was in Sprint's line. The others were Verizon lines....great knowledge of the industry. Hmmm...customer staisfaction, after less than 6 months... what a joke. Current marketshare, 9%, less than Palm and Blackberry according to your god-almighty Changewave. Come on...you are going to cite a survey with a sample of less than 4,000 users?
Get real, you are reaching.

Verizon Wireless uses the same EVDO Rev-0 that Sprint uses (not to be confused with Rev. A. which Sprint is just starting to roll out on the Mogul) . My point was that these phones, despite being "fast," are slower than the iPhone in real world usage.

That point is still valid.
