None of the above mentioned phones have had anywhere near the issues that the iPhone or Boulder have had.

Unfortunately, ALL modern cellphones have some software and firmware issues, but nothing like some of the pieces of crap being belched out from the Big Red or Big Blue lately.

Sure bud. I used drink the Sprint Kool Aid just like you. But the bottem line is that Sprint's service has become very crappy, their CS is still horrid, and they get the leftovers after Verizon gets 1st dibs (on the CDMA side).

I am currently an iPhone owner and it is the only phone I have come back to because I missed using it so bad. g1 is a close second... and both are leaps and bounds over anything Sprint has ever offered.

sprint has the best deals on plans hands down!att&t network is the worst in the industry and verizon is way over priced on there plans and data you dont have to beleave me go look for yourselfs.verizons comercials make everyone think there network is so great but its no better then sprints thats a fact and at the end of the day you will save far more money with sprint period!

I agree that sprint has the absolute best plans and yes..verizon is way overpriced. I was told by a verizon rep that the reason their plans cost more is that they take great care of their empolyees. Is that true? I was also told that prices may come down with the alltell merger. Regardless, I love sprint. But I do wish they were a little faster with the new technology. I used to love that they were ahead of everyone, seems like now I have to wait a lot longer.

Does this mean that they are going to not take as good of care of their employees?

Funny how ATT has the worst network but Sprint is the one who cannot sign up anybody. Funny how ATT has had rock bottom churn but Sprint is around the bottom the pack. Funny how VZ has the most expensive plans but they have managed to sign up more people than anyone. I can go on and on but why? DUDE! PUT DOWN THE GLASS AND STEP AWAY FROM THE PITCHER OF KOOL AID ๐Ÿคฃ

AT&T has the worst network? You mean because they have more voice and data coverage than Sprint? You mean because they have a faster 3G network? You mean because they have a higher network uptime, or just because AT&T's network doesn't experience as many logjams regarding speed as Sprint's does?

Sprint's coverage where I live is horrible and spotty. There'd be days I couldn't even use "Power Vision" , and don't get me started on their phone quality.

AT&T's network coverage isn't as expansive as Sprint's, that's a fact. AT&T does have a larger NATIVE network vs. Sprint, or even Verizon; however, Sprint and Verizon surpasses their coverage through roaming agreements. There will be areas where AT&T outdoes Sprint and vista-versa. AT&T's 3G coverage PALES in comparison to Sprint and Verizon.

AT&T does have a faster 3G network, but on phones they are limited to 1.8Mbps HSDPA. Only data cards have the chance to reach maximum speeds. Between the Big 3, speed difference is only 100-200Kbps on average.

The thing is, with Sprint, I get great voice and data services where I live work and visit, and I spend about $900 less per year than I would with Verizon.

I'll drink that Kool Aid and kindly ask for another glass, thank you.

I save over $50 month with SERO and I love every minute of it. My post was not about who is saving money but about his negativity towards the other carriers when they are doing 100 times better than Sprint even though they are noticeably more expensive.

The thing that attracts me to Sprint IS the fact that it is a smaller company. I don't require huge overhead. Overhead requires bucks and it needs to be made up by who? The subscribers. I drive an average of 1400 hundred miles a week and sometimes I am required to leave state. Sprint has however continued to provide me with the coverage I need whether it be roaming or not. And I don't pay extra! Most of the time I am within Sprint's native area and my connections have been on par with the two biggest carriers. In fact the 1900Mhz has given me exceptional crystal clear voice calling and very responsive data. If I am the last customer that Sprint has, changes nothing on how I feel about how they have treated me or the service they have provide...

Sprint's Koolaid for me is sweet like their service. ATT's arsenic left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Average User Reviews From Phonescoop:

Storm: 3.31
Boulder:2.73

Instinct:4.01
Rumor:3.47
Fusic:3.83

I didn't bother with the others because they were all released on both Sprint and Verizon, except for the Highnote that only had two reviews, but I'm pretty sure they were ALL rated higher than the Storm and Boulder by users.

So I would venture to reply: oh no, they didn't.

you pick your carrier... I can tell by your reviews every phone you had sucked but the line up Sprint has is on point. The list you posted you obviously know nothing about, except how to copy and paste. Something the iphone still hasn't learned how to do. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ The bottom line is Sprint released The Instict, Treo 800w, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, and a list of other phone before Verizon even released the Touch Pro, Storm, or Omnia. So you tell me who's leading the pack. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The Treo 800W. Now there is a phone I owned which I regretted from day 1 ๐Ÿ˜ณ

You don't own any of the HTC products either. It seems to me that you know even less than the poster you are responding to ๐Ÿคฃ

Here we go again with this BS. Devices I own ppc 6700, ppc 6800, Touch Diamond, and Touch Pro. Btw the users who actually know how to use the 800w like the phone a lot and I listed a ton of other phones. So I was not saying its the best of the best but its not the worst either. hawkeye stop following me around TROLLING up every comment I post its starting to seem like u have no life and no direction.

You own an 800w which is the ONLY phone you have been helpful on phonescoop with.

The rest of the phones people have asked you DIRECT questions on and you have been caught EVERY time not knowing what you were talking about or just not answering the questions.

It's not nice to pretend and...
