Unless things have gone catastrophic, Sprint's network is far from "****ty"...

I have to agree. Where I'm from, Sprint has been the best network I've used. Plus, you can't beat unlimited everything for $100.

Sprint's network quality varies by location, it seems. It is hella ****ty where I live. But if it works for you, by all means....

im in dallas tx. Sprint is very fast. and alot less expensive. Id rather be on sprint than verizon any day. simply everything for 99.99. or everything data with any mobile any time. which is cool too. 4Gs coming to my area in Dec so ill get 4G wifi at home. It will be on like pop corn!!!

You realize you'll have to sign up for a 2 year Verizon contract to get that price, don't you?

you cant activate a Verizon device on Sprint, wont work! Also starting Nov.15 Verizon will be applying a $350 ETF if you cancel any "Advance device aka the Droid." At that point you might as well buy the phone at Full Retail instead of trying to get the phone at promotional price regardless of where you purchase it at!

That is only for customers that sign up for service after Nov 15. If you sign up before then your 175 will apply

very true...forgot to clarify that. I just put my pre-order in at my local best buy. $50 upfront to hold it and goes towards the purchase of the device!!

regardless of the ETF, Sprint won't let you activate phones that are not sprint branded (and hence already in their master ESN list) on their network.

You really can't move cdma phones around like GSM and even gsm is starting to use the IMEI's like the ESN on CDMA phones, so for example AT&T tracks I phones so you can't use them voice only on their network you have to pay for data if they see and IMEI that corresponds to an Iphone on the network. So you can't just buy a crap att phone and put the sim in an iphone and make calls with it. You can use and iphone it on tmobile, however no 1700 3g radio on iphones so no 3g service for iphones on tmo.
