Believe me these phones do not have the same features of a Blackberry, if you do not believe me go to crackberry.com and check on all the customizing you can do to a blackberry.
Plus many places like Best Buy, and Wal-Mart sell the Pearl, and Curve for free. The only truly expensive Blackberries are the Bold and Storm.
blackberries are ok phones. but their not nearly as fun as a windows mobile phone. all the apps on my ...
Re: So what does this mean for sprint exactly
go to clearwire.com it pretty much explains it. clearwire has its own lists of services, sprint is the cell phone side.sprint ownes 51 percent of clearwire. wimax wont just be for cell phones. its more like an upgraded wifi.
Re: Much, much better than Spint
Jayshmay said:
So Sprint has 2 WiMax services? Xohm which is in 1 city, and Clear, by years end more than a dozen cities.
xohm was sprints wimax network before the clearwire merger. so now its just one. clearwire wimax network. which sprint owns 51 percent of and that its running its 4g network on.
Just to clear it up..clearwire is sprints wimax network.
sprint owns majority stock of clearwire. However clearwire is its own company as well. so when clearwire expands its service, thats sprints 4g network expanding as well. alot of people may get confused because wimax(clearwire) isnt used just for cell phones. Its a wireless network like wifi, just alot faster.
Re: Much, much better than Spint
clearwire is basically sprints wimax network. Sprint ownes 51 percent stock. so when you hear clearwire emerging or expanding, thats the sprint 4g network. alot of people are confused because wimax isnt like lte, its used for more than just cell phones.
Re: Caution for HTC, Android and Windows users also.
check out flexilis mobile security. felexilis.com for windows mobile. it has anti virus, firewall, and also security if your phone is stolen you can gps it or "nuke" it which means you can delete all information remotely. Also you can make it scream if you cant find it or annoy whoever stole it. Its a great app. flexilis.com is where you can download it for your windows mobile phone.

of the time they have the $50 plan which means they get unlimited domestic calling
yeah with metro, but boost has 50 unlimited with unlimited voice, text and data.
Re: Cool, but may be a bit confusing...
MisterSuperSzar said:
This may be a stupid question, but even though VM and Boost are part of Sprint, post-paid customers don't get mobile-mobile with VM and boost right?
good question. i think so since its the same network.
Re: Cell Ban???
they have it in texas as well. a cell ban, but only in school zones.

Wimax is a wireless data technology. Voice is a secondary feature. You are making the false assumption that wimax is meant to compete with Verizon and att for cell phone market. The truth is wimax is meant to compete with att and Verizon isp. This is the biggest difference between wimax and lte. Lte is meant to be used for wireless phones where as wimax is a true wireless isp. That is the reason google and the ...
Re: Palm is going to wind up dead if they keep this up...
palm also has amazon, and sprint music... itunes isnt the only thing available for music.
Re: Stop playing catch up
Palm pre also has amazon, which has a very large selection of music. Not just itunes. From the reviews and videos ive seen the palm pre beats the iphone in alot of areas. Also with the users who have switched to the palm from the iphone are very pleased. I mean palm doesnt compare itself to the iphone, its the consumers who are making the comparison. So why not have both amazon and itunes? People who have the palm ...
Re: pretty sweet. if...
dan hesse also said that wimax isnt the only solution he said that hes open to lte as well in the future. so sprint could have both which could be very beneficial as wimax can be used for other things such as your lcd or plasma tv being wirelessly web enabled, which would be very cool. theres alot of possibilities other than the cell phone with wimax. im not saying that its going to dominate or lte will be ...
Re: pretty sweet. if...
thats true, wimax will have to really prove its self to get some support from major phone manufactors. But there are big companies behind wimax who also have shares like google and ibm just to name a couple. Did somebody say wimax android? hey, its possible.

stevelvl said:
He got you there :o
"By the time Sprint gets a GOOD FULL coverage network going, LTE MAY be well on it's way anyway" :roll:
he showed you!
lol true but lte will be just rolling out by the time wimax(clearwire) gets good full coverage. wimax is scheduled for a couple more markets like dallas by the end of this year. So even when lte finally rolls out wimax will have good coverage. Its a technology that ...
pretty sweet.
looks like lte wont be the only one world wide. im interested to see how this wimax thing turns out. Lte still has years to go. so we will see.
Re: why
because American saw he was the best canditate for the job. but this is a cell phone forum. how bout we keep it that.
i have to admit..thats pretty cool
just had to say that. Thats pretty cool. Wonder if a carrier will ever pick up a watch phone, or if anyone actually buys those things. but it is the coolest watch phone ive seen.
Re: Copy much?
Kryger said:
well seeing as how sprint/nextel got the lowest rating in customer service for 2008 id go with VZW XD
thats 2008, um its 2009 and things have changed..look it up. Plus you will get more out of your phone with sprint. Theres no locks, and with the simply everything plan, you can literally use everything without being nickled and dimed.
Re: Copy much?
flip mode said:
I wish Sprint was the old Sprint with the Red Diamond looking logo, they had good service/prices and customer service was a lot better, not to mention you could understand the reps because they were american at the time :lol: .
do you even have sprint? Sprint doesnt have international reps any more and also has been rewarded this year for outstanding customer service by jd power and associates. Sprints under new management, you should come check ...

Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
u do realize i just placed these replies minutes ago?
fyi i am a sprint sales rep...
thanks for your reply tho!
Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
palm pre is the phone to get right now...its sooo cool..and its sooo worth it to get one.
Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
sprint phones are better, plus their phones arent crippled like verizons are. lgs suck that simple..lgs make beginner pdas, theres not much you can do on them..no multitasking, or anything you can do with a winmo or even a bb. Sprint makes great business phones. HTC, Samsung, Palm,blackberrys, motorolas make great phones. The MiFi Card(which is really cool). 4G network(wimax). Everyone has voice, its the internet that we love to use. Mine is super fast with sprint..also sprint has ...
Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
tbabynyc said:
No I am done. Everybody has Verizon. My family, friends, work, etc. You can't really underestimate their service. I know it is expensive, but its better than anything else out there. I had Verizon for over 8 years. Never went back. Had Sprint,and AT&T. Verizon works better, hands down. In my home, that is the only cell provider that actually works. This is all based on my experience and or opinion.
So that is what I see coming ...
Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
Menno said:
What I mean is if you are in an area where your sprint phone DOESN'T WORK, then it doesn't matter how much you are saving on your (now) paperweight. Just like having "friends and family" with verizon doesn't mean squat if your phone doesnt work where you need it to.
Customers should look at coverage first (that the phone works where they need it, when they need it) and then worry about pricing. Because saving $49 dollars a ...

algorithmplus said:
If you didn't use the internet much except for e-mail, would you still get satellite internet for faster connection even if you didn't need it?
I'm just saying that you can't assume every single consumers is the same as you. Other people have different wants and different needs. Other people can also use other carriers. Sprint is not a "one company fits all consumers" organization. Unless I missed the newsflash that all mobile phone users ...
Re: Finally we can truly compare a premium phone on Sprint vs. Verizon.
algorithmplus said:
If you live in a Verizon dead zone and you primarily would use your phone at home, since you live in a dead zone, a Verizon plan would not be good, as it does not work at your home. Sprint may have great coverage at your home. Therefore, a Verizon plan with no coverage at your home would be a complete waste of money.
If you live in a Sprint dead zone and you primarily would use ...
Re: Are they kidding about the price?
Slammer said:
I think as long as people pay for these options, Verizon(or any carrier) will continue to charge. Just to let you know, I didn't leave Verizon because of lousy customer service. I don't care how nice a CSR is on the phone or how fast they respond to a call. If I'm not getting a good deal, I will be upset anyway.
Come to sprint buddy, good cs and great phones, and great plans, cant loose.
Re: Are they kidding about the price?
cellman09 said:
I am so sick of people saying they still disable gps !! They don't on smart phones!! Every carrier locks down there dumbphones to a certain extent! Stop bashing verizon!! You say the only thing they going is quality/signal! But to me that is way more important than some peace of crap product from apple!
Sprint Doesnt lock down any phone.You never see a Sprint phone with a locked feature such as wifi, bluetooth or any thing that ...
Re: good for palm
do i see an apple vs palm war brewing? we shall see.

Re: Why 500MB @ $39.99
are you guys actually discussing this? its cheaper becuase its Sprint the lowest of the cellphone carriers, data is all they have.
that doesnt even make since. Data is all they have? um its a cell phone company voice and texting included duhhh. But sprint does have the largest broadband data network based on sq miles. Also there pretty fast, that mifi device is pretty cool to.
Re: Why 500MB @ $39.99
-Cash Only- said:
Verizon is 250MB, why double it...? Either Verizon is crazy or Sprint is crazy. I'd like to pin the tail on the donkey!!
why complain about cheaper prices? better way to go is with sprint. Sprint isnt the donkey, the consumer is the donkey if they pay more for the same service with verizon.
Re: Why do people want Flash on their phone?
bluecoyote said:
Think about it. The majority of Flash content (aside from videos, which most phones have far-superior standalone apps for) , all you're left with for Flash is annoying web sites and annoying advertisements (Lowermybills, Free Smileys, etc.) Every other time, it's a resource hog. I'm reminded of the days I had Flash mobile for my Pocket PC and all it did was make the already-not-usable browser even less so.
flash can be a good thing..instead of using a youtube ...
what about windows mobile?
webOS, S60, Android, BlackBerry OS and iPhone OS...can we get some wm os flash too? wtf!! 8O
Re: My God...
Yeah, they really thought this through. Love my htc touch diamond but im going to definitely have to try out that palm pre.

Dont Bash Sprint..Did you forget about all the problems the Iphone had when launched
I know you rememember all the netowork and activation issues the iphone 3g had when launched...come on. Also stores were sold out everwhere..thus causing a shortage. The pre is going to be a big demand so a shortage is almost inevitable.
Re: Oh jeez, you're going to sell all 10 of them?
Sgt_Joker said:
that does not really matter now does it, because noone is signing up with sprint. they're losing millions of customers, closing stores, can't add subs, and still to this day can't fix their poor customer service..but the time they release a wimax phone, verizon will have one too...and ppl will be actually using it. There are always a few kool aid kids who talk up sprint, but you're in the minority...the Majority are paying more to be on ...
