But after looking at their new data plan, and how much I used on my last bill, even if I used 5 times what I use now I could still go with a data plan that costs $5 less than what I am paying now.

[/quote] ip4 has that too... but its not 4g, hell its barely 3g.. they hav the same processor, roughly the same specs hardware wise.. but the android is more customizable and the evo has a bigger screen i think.. the samsung Epic 4G is gonna launch semi soon as well, sprints second 4g device.. android as well, better screen than evo.. but SLIGHTLY thicker and has slid out keyboard.. but epic only has 5mp camera.. not 8mp like the EVO... evo is a cool device... ironically the update for the firmware that HTC launched over the air bricked thousands of devices nationwide.. poor customers... screwed without a device for 2days unless they were lucky enough to find a store with some in stock..

[/quote] the 4g network is all unlimited, they are talking about launching some HD channels on the sprint tv app, since the 4g devices all handle 720p... probably 6-12 months away from that though.. if any other carrier gets the iphone at&t is fucked.. they owe apple their life i think.... over 10% of their customer base is iphone users.. who would gladly bail for better plans and speeds for their needs...

I used to be with Verizon and I switched to Sprint cause of Ryan and I will never go back to Verizon. They charge too much and I get more with Sprint for less. Im very happy where I am. But I am at some point going to get the Evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I had horrible luck with Sprint coverage here. To the point that I would have to stand in the kitchen with one foot on the carpet, one on the linoleum, with my head pointed towards the oven to keep the call from dropping.

What do I need to do? [/quote] well, you may be without a phone for a few hours to a day.. OR you can do some post-activation leg work.. Option 1: I activate the phone with your current number, it takes anywhere from 2 hrs to 24 hrs to transfer over, when it does att phone goes dead and is auto canceled at ATT..you are without phone until you get it the next day.. Option 2: I activate phone with new number, ship it, the next day you call sprint or go into a store, and tell them you want to port your number over to replace the one you just got. They process the port, and you have two phones until it switches over. This is a SLIGHT pain with the evo since it auto activates itself, youll likely have to hard reset the device once the port goes through to get it to function properly.. Option 3: wait for your local store to get one... if you call and say you wanna port over, theyll likely hold one for you.. probably take anywhere from a few days to a week depending on their current waiting list.

Vegas is a 4g city so im sure they tightened that up.. not that you have any reason to switch back if your happy of course.. i dropped 1-2 calls a month in ohio.. not a single one since i moved here.. PS: any bitchy sprint customer, we have a tool that shows us if you dropped calls or not, so stop lying trying to get a new phone for free.. a rep will come tell me and have me pull your call history, and ill tell you every calls success rate over the last 90 days... ya shady bastards....glad i dont face customers myself..
