So the title says it all but does anyone have any insight on sprint coverage and the touch pro 2?

where did you live when you were with sprint?

Sprint can be either fantastic or sucky. I found that if you are mainly in a larger city or along interstates their coverage is wonderful. However, if you are in more rural areas I wouldn't hold your breath.

Our towers, their towers - do you really see more than one tower in any particular place? These companies are 'renting' space on towers and I've lived in a dead zone of less than a bar with Sprint. Switched to Verizon and got just a little more signal. I've stayed with Verizon because I felt like I had more coverage in rural areas, but honestly - you know this coverage stuff is just a big scam of marketing to blindside us all into spending money to switch carriers. THEY'RE ALL THE SAME TOWERS and probably still owned by MCI!

yea i agree... Anyways i was paying 130 a month with verizon and with sprint im only paying 30... the coverage is just a bit weaker than verizon, i havent noticed much of a difference... But for a 100 a month its worth staying with sprint.
