    So please explain how Verizon uses a technology that isn't compatible with theirs to expand their network.

    Im not agreeing that use the same towers however verizon is both cdma and gsm. Not in the US but when you leave the country verizon phones become gsm hints the reason they have sim card slots

    You must be talking about them back in the day....
    From the numbers i'm reading - http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/27/spr...reless_32.html.
    This is just one of a few articles i've read over the last couple years. As a former user of Sprint/Nextel i can see why. Unless corporate users grew they def. lost customers in the millions and from what i'm gathering they have been losing customers for years....

    Granted you will gain new customers but you have to look at the big picture...

    I have a big issue with Verizon, I compared them with Sprint for a business plan for 60 new phones, Verizon would have been cheaper if I did 60 INDIVIDUAL phones than with a business. They are getting to comfortable being high priced.

    IMO Sprint will gain a lot of market share in the next 2 years. But thats just me

    Sprint is fucked man.. they need to do something to get out of the bad customer rap.. i think sprint has great service.. but damn.. they have been trying so hard to get oout of that bad customer shit for a long time..

    Whats bad is , you walk into a Sprint store, and it feels so ghetto and unproffesional..
    Sprint does have good pricing but that doesn't hide its many faults. The only reason Sprint is alive IMHO is because of price point. An advantage they have carried very well over the years. Look at MetroPCS with with around 6.4 millions ( drop in the bucket compared to the major players) users. Year over year % growth is huge. Anyway, here is why i dropped them as a long time user -

    1. While traveling 285 West to 400 north – dead spot near King and Queen building while driving on the highway. My calls would literally drop off. Had to learn to not call during those times very inconvenient considering what a cell phone is designed for.
    2. When raining or even cloudy – signal strength is abysmal. Really can’t make/receive calls, very annoying. The performance really varies but I can honestly say 99% of the time it is terrible(in cloudy / rainy weather) and your business would definitely suffer b/c of the reliability.
    3. Signal strength inside buildings is very weak, especially when inside your pocket. Even on sunny days the reliability varies too much within a building.

    4. I760 Phone would reboot quite a bit - 5 - 10 times in a month. That is way too much. My older phone was built like a champ and just ran like it should.

Google Voice works a whoooooooole lot better than the built in voice controls for the 3gS. Videos for the Iphone have been around since almost the first Iphone, just Apple didn't approve it, again, so that they could market the 3gS as a "new and improved" phone. They're badass at marketing and making money.

    Personally, I just don't like how whenever I swipe an Android screen to the next page, I can see it kinda glitch and skip. It isn't as smooth as the Iphones.
    Yeah Google voice needs polishing on the interface too. But it works...
