I am sorry to hear of your trouble, I am a sprint employee and understand the hesitation of letting go the iden PTT, many hate to see it go. Nextel has been losing customers and money do to the network limitations, by July there will be no nextel. Have you tried the Dura XT, we sell those like they are gold plated and very few returned. Remember those nextel towers you love will be redone into sprint towers so coverage after a short period of time will be no different. I know the waiting for that to happen is no good for you but by 3rd quarter 2013 with the new tower set ups using technology newer than Verizons, coverage will be comparable to verizon and if you are using one of our triband phones building penetration will be equally as good.

This is like tearing down and rebuilding a Chevy Small block engine, it was getting some miles on it, take every single part out and put in NEW parts and bam, your running 9's in the qaurter!
