Sprint's Palm Pre or wait?

andy2373

Jun 5, 2009, 2:51 PM
So how many VZW subscribers are going to try Sprint's Palm Pre? ๐Ÿ‘€
Or are you going to wait for the rumored VZW branded Palm Pre? ๐Ÿคจ

On a side note, it seems that VZW has listened to customers complaints about locking their phones down. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) there was news that VZW is going to offer Android, now Web OS, on top of the already offered WM and BB OS's.

I wouldn't change to sprint for a phone. I need coverage and verizon has the best. No matter what phone I have used with verizon, I have yet to have a dropped call(have had verizon for 4 1/2 years now). I can't imagine why anyone in my area would have sprint. People complain about the sprint coverage but stay because they like the phones they have. How crazy is that? What good is the phone if it doesn't work?

No. If you knew something, you would know that when a phone is roaming on Verizon, and the tower is almost full, it will kick the sprint/roamer off so it can add room for the Verizon customer.

And Sprint does not roam off all Verizon towers.

facts? Take the away the cs and advertising, and they're exactly the same...and VZW has crappier phones that can't even be customized. I've never came into this room or anyother slamming their provider...yet you do. You have the same 3 comebacks in every argument...it's old, Joker. Sprint has actually moved up in some of the surveys, and you said that they don't count... when all you do is spout off about how VZW is always #1. Get you head out of your @ss and have a conversation for once.

Jun 8, 2009, 6:01 PM
no they're not exactly the same ๐Ÿ™„ verizon has the larger 3G network, lowest churn, highest rated voice network, more customers, opening stores, plus we're adding customers, not losing millions, and provide a better in store experience. and moving onto LTE for their 4G platform along with everyone else. You seem agitated? i can't help it that sprint is losing millions of customers, sprint has treated their customers like utter crap for years, and it has caught up to them. whatever internal improvements that have been made are probably to late. sprints name is mud, and they're are NOT adding any new subs...easy to understand. it's not my fault, hell i tried to give them my business and they treated me poorly like millions before me. tmob...

You don't seem to get it. It's not literally "brainwashing". Most people jump to Verizon not because they are dissatisfied with their current provider, not because there's a particular phone they want, not because Verizon's has sweet features (which they are severely lacking in)... It's because everywhere the general public turns their head they see some sort of Verizon Wireless advertisement. Verizon's marketing team is extremely good at what they do. It's the same reason why millions of people eat at McDonald's everyday, the same reason people choose Apple's iPods over other superior media players, the same reason people like Good Charlotte, the same reason people buy Abercrombie and American Eagle, the same reason people order from P...

What is your point? Yes marketing works! And if sprint had a better marketing team they could bring in more customers...but the fact is Verizon is successful for many more reason than just good commercials. They have the best network, outstanding customer service, (despite what you think) excellent products! You act like verizon is the only carrier there is...ATT and T-Mobile along with many regional carries are doing very well too. It's does not matter what everyone thinks of Verizon, what matters is how can sprint change their imagine.
