All these pro sprint threads are hurting the eyes... Sprint nailed themselves in when they purchased Nextel an already sinking ship. I would never, ever join a Wireless provider who sends out "Dear Jon" letter's telling you that their terminating the wireless service.. Great CS there!.
I don't mean to be rude when I ask you this, WTF are you talking about Dear Jon letters? The whole sprint terminating service with people who abused a system? Ohh, ...
Re: WiMax Dead???
In the south east, its not about speed, its about coverage. VZW just doesn't have the same coverage as far as EV-DO Rev A goes. Sprint beats them hands down. When working for sprint, a quarter of all my activations were from air-cards. Out of that amount that switch carriers for data it was about a 70% att to 30% VZW. All of the VZW customers stated it was all due to coverage, not ...
Already been done... (music has anyway)
So this is basically an FM modulator that plays the music from your phone to an FM channel? Thats kinda silly due to the poor quality of FM. Its going to be like one of those ipod or dvd adapters that plays it through your stereo via FM and any time you travel under a power line get a boost of static!
Its nice to see the phone functions also built into the device but the static would ...
May I ask
WTF is wrong with these people complaining about the mega-pixel of a cell phone?? I do a little photography on the side and feel that its BS to complain about the mega-pixel in a cell phone when you could just purchase a dang digital camera! The digital camera is not only going to cost less, but you can even get higher than 5 mega-pixel.
As far as why? Probably the major factor in basic business, price. ...
Re: what exactly do we mean by other devices?????
WB nextel18, we've missed ya! LOL I would love to see a CDMA/WiMax Android phone! Right now I have a palm but after viewing some Android vidoes it would be insane to have that phone with this speed.
Why and how this is legal..
To start off with, a company doesn't have the capability to start such a service with current customers due to contracts and one major fact, the phones do not have the software built into the OS. I'm surprised everyone who has posted hasn't determined this while stating such things as class-action lawsuits and all that BS. If a pre-paid service does this, it will be apart of the service agreement you agree to to use the service. ...
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
Thanks for the info.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
ROFL!! If that were true, then Sprint & VZW wouldn't have tri-mode phones. You have two CDMA bands (analog/digital) and one EVDO band. The different bands on GSM are for analog/digital/international/edge. Its going to be the same when WiMAX comes out for Sprint. I think wombough said it best..
Its as GSM as Wimax is CDMA.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
Do some research.

I think wombough said it best Its as GSM as Wimax is CDMA.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
That was my understanding as that is what was told to me when I worked for Sprint. I could have been told wrong as someone might have mistaken these differences for the whole BREW/JAVA issues that VZW customers have had.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
You are correct in stating that it was accepted by the GSMA Global Standard group but just because its accepted by that group doesn't mean its GSM. Its only considered as a 4g network architecture technology, not a 4GSM. The actual standard is called 3GPP Release 8. What you guys get confused is the fact the GSM is a voice only handling part of a network. The data runs on different spectrum's. This is ...
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
If you look at the post under this topic, people are thinking that it is GSM and that VZW is switching to GSM.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
The reason why Sprint and VZW can't roam of each others data network is actually not due to signing any deal. When I worked for sprint I found that their setup for EVDO was different. Yes it was the same technology but the phones would have to be configured when switching networks.
Re: speed
Its not about speed, its about mobility... if you can get that in your head, then you will understand the cost.
Re: as usual Verizon Wireless makes the right decision
When will you guys learn that LTE is NOT GSM. Its just a 4g data network. One of the main reasons why VZW is going to LTE is due the their main competitor ATT. Since ATT will also have LTE, they can roam off each other which will boost the size of the LTE network once both companies have it up and running. But VZW is NOT switching to GSM, they have and will always ...
Re: these new Li-ion batteries plus carbon nanotube capacitors
I also remember hearing about a chip that was made that when heat was applied, produced electricity, and when electricity was applied, cooled down. Is this technology similar to what your speaking about?
Re: Its not as bad as you say
Thats good to hear. Rumors were spreading that it was the CEO of ATT Wireless that ran for 6-8 months (or at least thats how longs it had seemed) before selling to Cingular. The way the company was ran at that time was insane.
Re: Beginning of the End
I can not see the attached article as I'm blocked, if you could please send me a copy?
Re: Beginning of the End
What part and time of ATT wireless did he work for?? Thats what I really want to know.
Re: My bet's on you!
I remember that short period of time... dear god I hope it isn't the same person.
Re: Did you read the article?
But if you actually read my comment you would see that I pointed out that these items are not included in your contract with sprint. If you don't believe, find someone with a sprint contract and it doesn't say anything about your bill in it except about activation fees. Most of the cell phone companies that I've worked for never combine those two things due to having to change them so frequently. Same goes for your ...
Re: Reality
Carrier store? You mean and in-direct dealer? And yes you can upgrade at an in-direct dealers with TM. I do it all the time. Its actually up to the owner of said in-direct store if they want to handle upgrades.
Re: Change in Terms? Not at all...
This does not constitute a change in the TOS. A change in the TOS would only be about the ETF, Activation fees, or they add/remove an important part of the current TOS. Sprint's TOS only includes information about the amount of time for term of use, ETF, lawyer mumbo-jumbo about arbitration, and activation fees. These are so called state/fed taxes that they are changing the way they bill.

Sorry about the grammer issues, I'm sick with the cold and doped up on meds. =P

I disagree with your conclusions.
I realized a long time ago that most US customers want FREE [or close to free] phones. That doesn't stop a carrier from have a few higher end phones for people like us and that is where my problem is. TMobile does not do that.
It is very true that customers what a free or close to free phone. As far as the line of higher end phones that TM offers, you ...
One can only hope...
that WiMAX will be as fast as they say, then we can have phone where you can actually see the person you talk to in RT. The android phone would also ROCK the house with this!
Verizon block huh?
I've always wondered this due to the fact that I have friends on Verizon that I can not txt or pictxt and VZW always tells them its my network's fault. So if my network uses "short code" they will block it and its my networks fault? ATM, I do not have access to whole article, can so one tell me if there is a reason behind this block?
WoW, I'm supprised!!!
An article comes out with sprint in it and theres no hatr-aid on em? Is everyone on vacation? LoL
Re: OK so I'm in Baltimore
Nothing... When a company does a "Soft Launch" they are testing their product by themselves and not offering to outsiders.
Re: Seems like a desperate move to me to make everyone argue.
Anxiovert said:
What do you think? Discuss.
Nice move making everyone argue about VZW. Its funny how everyone on here has to oppress opinions other than their own.
This makes sense...
I heard about a month ago that Sprint was stopping its development of a device that would allow you to use a cell phone off of a broadband internet for low coverage areas. If just make a phone and add a fee, that would help a lot of thier customers.
Re: OMG how stupid can sprint get!!!!
Ok people, the problem with Sprint is the customer service... one CEO isn't going to change that. Sprint declined because they want a totally NEW management team, as per the article.
Re: End of CDMA/GSM/iDen
If I were to guess, I'd say another 10 years or so... But that IS the evolution of the cellular world. We can talk about it all day but its the nature of the beast for it to evolve.
Re: The End OF CDMA?
Again, LTE is not GSM. Just like WiMAX isn't CDMA. They are just a connections for 4G technology. Now, one day, I could see every carrier getting ride of 2G and 3G due to the fact that voice can also be carried on the high speed connection. But by the time that happens, 5G will probably be out.
Re: The End OF CDMA?
No it doesn't. LTE is just their new 4G data connections.
Re: A day late and a dollar short
LTE is NOT GSM, just the best to use WITH GSM
Re: Terrorists
Ohh, never heard President Dumb@$$ called anything other than dumb@$$... ROFL. I can see that.
Re: Why Sprint has a poor customer service.....
Why is CS an issue to talk about on this discussion, its about IDEN being threatened to be shut down. I like your post though, good points and I do agree, CS is being overhauled and the turnout so far is good from what I've experienced.
Re: Terrorists
Who?
Re: Only Sprint
Every company goes through a downside and the true testament of a company is when they come out of one. Yes, Sprint is hurting bad but everyone here has this thing with comparing it to the Titanic or some other sinking ship. If you've ever taken a business class in college you would learn that almost ALL companies go through this. Its the Make it or Break it concept. Apple went through the same issue ...
