Sprint Pro vs. Vzn Pro vents!

Ok...... I made this thread soo ppl stop flaming other threads about how hidious vzn pro is and visa versa. so to start it off I wanna say that VZN does have excellent CS and pretty good coverage. But... their Pro is exactly a perfect example of vzn lock down of technology. Not only did they managed to kill the lloks of the pro but they robbed it from its ram, keyboard and crippled the gps. And not to mention disabling TF3D because it eats up the last of the ram thats left and gimped some of the software like the youtube app and IM in which is standart on these phones. Incredibly they have balls to charge 50 dollars more than anyone else! What a slap in the face to their customers! I bet they will say "its all about the network", but that is bull! Gimme the worlds best network but gimp away the technology to use it! HilaRIOUS!

Agree 110% I'd take my $30 sero plan and have a few dropped calls any day over verizon with a comparable plan that costs $110. I don't mind the few dropped calls or the less than perfect customer service. I hardly call customer care anyway. Even without a sero plan, sprint still would be $69 I believe which is still better than verizon

I believe the drop call issue is a very minimal now that sprint don't charge for roaming. Sprint has turned their customer service around 180 degrees IMO. All I gots to say for those that are buying the "Touch (not so PRO) Good luck..

Obama's slogan may be "Yes we can" but Verizon's is definitely "No you can't" when it comes to wanting just one uncrippled phone.

Nope, but you can for a limited time only get 2 Touch Pros for $100 more than Sprint, then you can use the ugly square design as crutches if you want!

Re: Sprint Pro vs. Vzn Pro vents!

I am so bummed. Waited for this phone to come, finally got the vzw yesterday, activated, played, looked at memory, and I was blown away. 10 mgs free. I have the 6800 for over a year I am on DCD's rom and i have many great programs, great tweaks. and when i have everthing open i have 5 mgs free. Yes on the touch pro the keyboard, the camera & the size all better, but the memory is about equal. I am goin to return my pro tommorrow and wait this one out, Either go to sprint and activate on vzw or wait until some of the great xda & ppc geeks braintrust, develop a clean rom tweak, load and have 50+ meg. Maybe by christmas.....vzw is so dead wrong on this crippling. anti-american. Happy Thanksgiving all.
