    LOL, is sprint paying you to defend them? because it does transmit voice. Last time I checked, humans dont speak in digital

    THE U300 IS A MODEM, NOT A DEVICE/HANDSET. And I have never said its a shotty company, just that financially they are fucked barring massive improvements which most dont ever see happening.

    Its a peripheral, you cant just walk around with it and expect phone calls or to get your email. Your ignorance or just lack of intelligence astounds me.

    That makes no sense. Even a phone that would be 4G cpapble would have a radio in it that would allow it to connect. Your argument is that you can't expect emails on the modem. You get emails on the laptop. The laptop is bigger than a phone. So you are saying that because you don't want to lug the computer, it's not the same....

    So that makes it less of a device?

    Yes actually, in that industry a "device" refers to a handset.

    Going to lunch. You guys have fun trying to prove me wrong that Dan Hesse never said we are going under, that there is no company with better plans, and there definitely no companies out there that have 4g or will have 4g for some time.

    and Blank cd, find me a GSM phone you think can compete with CDMA...

    And I have sold 10 times as many instincts to iphone users.

    People will go back and forth.

    We have the tour and the HTC touch pro 2 as well. It has nothing to do with the phone in all honesty. CDMA is a faster network for data. Is has a larger frequency that allows for more information to pass through.

    And Ziptied. The plans mean a lot. Number one thing a customer looks at after the phone is how much they pay a month....

    Of course it does, in theory, but why arent they using it? Its been shown a number of times GSM phones are faster. They're focusing all their effort into 4G. Great. Now bring out a well performing phone thats able to use it, and maybe you'll have a new customer

    The BB Storm I will vouch, I HATED that phone with a passion!!!

    The Pre however is much better. I was debating between my BB Tour and a Pre when I switched, but I wanted to stick with the tried and true Blackberry. Plus, Im not much of a touchscreen phone kinda guy.

    Dont get me wrong, pre is a cool phone, and if i was stuck on sprint, that would be the phone i would probably have. But the only thing it has going for it is background applications. but lets be honest, what all do you NEED to be running in the background? I can play games and surf the internet on my iphone while listening to and CONTROLLING music at the same time, and still be able to recieve push email and texts and phone calls. iphone has background apps, people just dont realize it. in order to be a "killer" you have to be able to murder the phone you're trying to kill, and the pre simply doesnt.

    I'll never forget the one guy, regular customer of mine, runs a DJ business, came in and showed me his instinct he had for about a year. I sat him down and said just play with this for a minute, have fun, go at it. Two days later he came back to me and showed me his new iphone. said it was the best thing hes ever done.

    Sprint has customers right now because they are GIVING away cell plans. simple as that, and because they have nextel's business customers. If at&t said we'll give you an iphone for 99 bucks and you can talk to any damn person you want and text as much as you want, and surf the web all you need to for 50 bucks a month? it would be endgame

    Oh I know it won't. There no way ATT's network could handle all of that. They could barely handle all those iPhone customers MMSing at the same time. The day they released the MMS for the iPhone, the ATT cell tower down the street from my work was glowing red. LOL

    Some can afford the iphone data plan, but feel it is actually stupid to pay double what you should for the same thing. I am on Sprint and will be picking up my Sprint HTC Hero tomorrow.

    fuk yo iphone!
