I've adored this phone when it first came out (GSM). I sure hope Sprint gets this phone. It would be disappointing TO ME, if it stays with VZW. Unless VZW changes to J2ME, but it would be a cold day in hell when that happens. 😈

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My opinion, Sprint IS the better carrier that OFFERS MORE on plans, service, and phones. It's VZW's marketing and CS that may be better. I shopped to 3 different VZW stores to find out why VZW's better than Sprint, and every store (corp not 3rd party) stated, we have a better phone selection. WOW! I guess the manufactures MADE VZW. LOL!! 🀣

I wonder why you guys cut 5,000 jobs and lose customers every month and why Verizon is the best is many reason a lot of my customer read consumer reports and J.D.

Like I stated before, EVERYONE is entitled top their own opinion. As a VZW rep, you should know every customer isn't 100% correct, with issues, such as billing, phone problems, etc. Most wireless consumers feel it's not their fault for dropping their phone in the water, on the floor, not paying their bill on time,etc. I'm pretty sure every consumer has their reasons on changing carriers and will vent to their new carrier. Let's just say that we were both in an area that Sprint and VZW worked perfectly, and you were the consumer. Who would you pick, and why? I'm curious to know you're thoughts. Looking forward to hearing from you Turbomagnani. πŸ˜‰

Sprint billing system allows "foreigners" to use Sprint with no social security number. A lot of 3rd party retailers and some corp employees will use this to their advantage to friends and family members, or people that still owe Sprint. They will enter the no social code and allow the foreigners to use Sprint. This is Sprint's fault for letting employees abuse this no social code.

What were you waiting on? He already said it before you posted this. Its quality. If you want a cheap carrier that throws money away to try to keep its customers, and still cant keep them, sprint is the carrier for you.

Quality speaks for itself. VZW is by no means the cheapest carrier and in several areas is the most expencive, yet quarter after quarter more people pick and stay with VZW than any other carrier.

As for sprint, their net retail adds this last quarter of 55k pretty much speaks for what most customers think of them. One of the biggest selling points for any carrier is what its customers say about it, sprint customers speak poorly of sprint and that gets around.

Did I miss something I thought I mention it lets see.....................oh yes a cell phone is meant to be use outside your house and using sprint is like using 2 paper cups and string worthless. What else Verizon has the fewest drop calls, great network, did you know Verizon spends over 3billion dollars a year to better their network that’s why we so reliable, no other carry spends that much. Verizon has 200-300 people nation wide driving to state city to city test their network. Let see as a former Nextel user I can say Nextel is great for being a useless paper weight. What else..........did I mention Sprint sucks?

Dude are you dumb since Sprint change there plans to free nights after 6pm they are making no money in fact the bank is going repo Sprint.

I pretty sure they are sobbing. You should double check.

You said you won over Sprint. How? My calls and service is great. I'd switch to Helio if I were to use a different carrier. BREW, limited unlimited plans, 9pm nights, etc. doesn't cut it for me. VZW is a great CDMA network, I'm not dogging on them, it's what they have to offer on plans, UI's, "unlimited", BREW. You're LIMITED on VZW. Still waiting for an answer from previous post. You gave me a car comparison. Nice. If that's all you got, let me know?

I never ignored your response. Look, the average Joe probably doesn't know the difference between CDMA vs GSM and BREW and J2ME. If you want me to break it down on why I think Sprint is better, Then fine. Sprint: CDMA,Ev-Do,ReadyLink, Vision, Power Vision,WiFi,Java,GPS,iDEN,WiDEN,PTT,and soon WiMax. VZW: CDMA,Ev-DO,BREW,PTT,and V-Cast. Sprint plans: unlimited plans, unlimited incoming calls, unlimited data, unlimited nights and weekends starting at 7pm, and have an option to start at 6pm with free roaming. VZW plans:limited "unlimited" data, nights and weekends at 9pm, no unlimited minute plan, no incoming minute plan. Sprint does offer roaming data on VZW and Alltel's network. VZW, I'm not too sure, so I'm not going to say. Sprint gives you...

Yean, by trying to drive the 'all things remaining equal' portion of the argument, you miss the point of how the carriers compare.

The fallacy inherent in stating that 'if you compare features, who would you go with' logic is that this does not comport with the reality of what customers are buying. Currently, having all the extra features you state Sprint provides is not enticing enough to keep the hemoraging base.

Going to the 'all things remaining equal', if these features were as desirable as you suggest, the iDEN loss would not be as great as it has been.

So, you can't remove from the discussion what you feel makes it a tough argument (VZW network quality) and only introduce the parts of the argument that help you make your poin...

Thank you for your great input Green Jeep. The average Joe wouldn't know that and probably wouldn't care. I can see your point and appreciate what you're stating. My 2 cents first started off with admiring the LG Prada phone and hopes pf Sprint getting the LG Prada phone, or sarcastically stating if VZW will use J2ME, I'd switch.

You and I know VZW has a superior network...I know that, I just wanted this simpleton to state who and why, which carrier is better? Me, personally, have never had any issues with Sprint. I couldn't understand the quality of VZW's network, especially if VZW's doesn't work well in a lot of my local areas and outside city limits. So far I've been happy with Sprint, and look forward to Sprint's future. Cheers, and t...
