You use 2 phones? or are you switching the sim card back and forth?

work pays for the iphone, and i have my own account on t-mobile. sometimes i forward my personal calls to the 3GS so i can just carry one device and get my work emails too.

Looks like I might be joining the Android bandwagon this summer:

It's official: Sprint's first WiMax/4G phone is everything we hoped it would be. The HTC Evo combines the "perfect specimen" hardware of the Touch HD2, the Sense-on-Android smoothness of the Legend, and unprecedented download speeds. It's a beast.

The Evo (rumored as the Supersonic) has the much-loved 4.3-inch screen (480x800 TFT LCD), and 1GHz Snapdragon processor of the of the HTC Touch HD2. But while not even HTC's Sense UI skin could save that phone from its WinMo 6.5 underpinnings, Supersonic will run on the much sleeker Android 2.1. It'll be one of the first US phones to sport the latest and greatest Android OS, although Kat's already fully endorsed the 2.1 and Sense combo that runs HTC Legend in Europe. It also steps up the camera from 5MP to 8MP.

The emphasis on video is clear: the Evo's got HDMI out and a kickstand for full enjoyment of the 720p video of which it's capable. The phone's also got 1GB of built-in storage, along with 512MB of RAM.

why, is sprint really bad? their plans are pretty damn cheap.

two guns holla · **Posted:** Tue Mar 23, 2010 9:20 pm

Plans are cheap but people complain about their coverage. It doesn't bother me a ton where I live, and I wonder how WiMax would eventually affect it.

Ya Sprint was spotty compared to Verizon and Tmobe's in New England... Although ATT was the worst

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 23, 2010 10:31 pm

I thought Sprint in Chicago was the worst, until I moved to Cincinnati.

i had sprint for about 5 years and their service was so fucking bad...coverage, customer service, billing, everything...i vowed to never go back. at&t/cingular has been unbelievably better.

still, that phone is the bomb. i'm probably switching over barring nothing else from att or tmo.

att sucks pretty hard in my opinion. dropped calls constantly. sprint is worse than that?

ATT may suck. I don't know because I've only been on Sprint & ATT in my life, and in comparison ATT seems like the greatest telephone company in the world. The only reason I stayed with Sprint so long was when I tried to walk away, they cut my plan rate in half. Eventually, they couldn't give me a cheap enough plan to stay with them.

Guys, TMobile is the best coverage and customer service.

two guns holla · **Posted:** Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:16 am

Its all dependent on where you live - I never get dropped calls on Sprint. Though the internet can be a little spotty depending on where I am. I haven't had to deal much at all with customer service and my plan is almost half of what my fiancee pays, who has a comparable plan with her Blackberry on Verizon (though mine includes a slight discount from my old employer).

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:16 am

Dalen, I would not say T-Mobile has the best coverage. I would give that to AT+T for having the best coverage in the boonies. Verizon has the best call quality. T-Mobile has the fastest internet (if you are in an area where you can get the 3G or HSPA). Sprint...I was lucky if I could get a signal or didn't get the "network is busy, please try your call again later" notice. Driving thru the mountains to WV or Atlanta leaves me with many huge dead spots, but I get notifications on my phone that the AT+T network is available for emergency calls.

For me, it's fantastic too. I'm in LA. It's far better than ATT.

i have had a few problems with tmobile coverage, but generally i'm happy with it. i just wish they had better hardware. i was considering the hd2, but i keep hearing mediocre reviews and whatnot.

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 24, 2010 5:29 pm

HD2 Selling Out?

I bet you are the kind of person that gets confused that the radio stations are different (not to mention time zone changes) when you travel--"Hold on, everything isn't the same as it is at my house?!? OMG!!!"
