A substantive criticism make one a 'hater'?

Is it really true that unless someone uncritically accepts everything Apple does that he's a 'hater'?

Is there no midde ground between 'mindless drone' and 'hater'?

"Half the speed and no voice and web at the same time for the same price"

How is this "substantive criticism," T-Boner?

He was criticizing SPRINT, not Apple T-Bone Head. And his criticism is not even true.

O think it could be taken as a criticism of either Sprint or Apple....Sprint provides the service but Apple sets the price....

Sprint's 3G is slower than other carriers FACT

Sprint does not support voice/data at the same time....neither does any CDMA network FACT

Yes, this criticism is both factual and substantive....

'Why pay the same price for decreased performance?' is a fair criticism.....

At any rate, I am sick of this kind of analysis...'if you don't agree you're a hater'

I get the same crap from Democrats all the time.....

Democrat drone: 'Obama's the greatest thing since sliced bread!'

Me: 'Well actually I don't think he's all that great....'

Democrat Drone: 'You're a racist, this is just straight up hatre...

The worst thing about CDMA probably is that it lacks that ability. I know.
I was reading up on SVDO the other day

The iPhone 4s may be able to support SVDO because of it's chipset but no one is talking.

No, not a FACT.

IS-95B -- protocol revisions (P_REV) 4 and 5 of the original cdmaOne standard -- simultaneously supports one traffic channel plus up to seven supplemental code channels. The traffic channel can carry voice or data while the supplemental code channel(s) can carry only data. However, most North American CDMA networks skipped directly from P_REV 3 to P_REV 6, which is the first protocol revision in the CDMA2000 standard.

So, in spirit, your comment may be true, but it is not a FACT.

I dont understand what politics has to do with anything here, sprint doesn't suck, or apple would not do business with them. if they didn't think they would make money...they wouldn't do business with them



...but you being a republican explains a lot. obama is not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but all the other choices are about 20 steps below. pray the gay away bachmann, nuts, jog with a pistol, no such thing as evolution perry, nuts. i'm sure you support the Perry Bachmann 2012 ticket.

I think you forgot the part where you don't get throttled. When I hear people talking about "speed" as one of their main priorities that means 99% of the time they use a substantial amount of data. Let me know of another tier 1 carrier that provides a better experience?

Verizon iPhone doesn't do voice and data the same time..half the speed? Internet wise or 3G? erm..ya..it's the iPhone 4 dummy, and it's $99. iPhone 4S is $199, $299, and $399..I guess thinking wasn't apart of this thread making process.

the only argument you may have here is the talk and web at the same time. Half the speed sincerely doubtful, but I will say yes its faster. What about data deoendability ? Sprint has the more dependable network, more spectrum than at&t to handle the load , oh and I forget unlimited data and cheaper plans. But you can tout all you want, sprint will welcome you will open arms when you leave at&t for the sprint IPhone

for a fact I know that with verizon you cannot talk and surf or receive MMS at the same time

Only on Wifi you can when running a CDMA based iPhone. If you are on AT&T and on 3G, you can do surf and talk at the same time.
