My contract ends with sprint on June 1, and i am considering switching to alltel since the touch pro is listed on their since for $80.

Is alltel a good carrier for this phone? I only want them since they seem like the cheapest.

Do you think i should get this, or wait for the touch pro 2 even if its with a different carrier? (i love how the touch pro 2 looks but dont really feel like waiting)

Will a touch pro with a custom rom be better than a touch pro 2 with its regular rom?

Will it take a while for a custom rom to come out on the touch pro 2? Will i really need it?

Is the alltel version a CDMA or GSM phone?

Is there a step by step youtube video to help me unlock/flash/get a custom rom on the touch pro? i find it hard to follow some of these forums

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for your time guys
Since alltel is now verizon i would say they have good service. I wouldn't get them but that's your call, im happy with sprint.

I've heard that the touch pro 2 will drop with sprint in June so if i were you i would wait and see for sure before you switch carriers.

When the TP2 drops it won't take long at all for custom ROMs. I'd say before you can get your hands on one there will be a custom ROM. And most custom ROMs are better than stock so i would say yes you need it.

Alltel is CDMA

There is a thread on here for unlocking/ flashing your phone with a micro sd card. It's super easy.
