Yeah, the problem is that if there is any sprint coverage AT ALL (even a tiny bit) it'll stick on the junk connection.... even if there is a SOLID/full bars Verizon connection available.

That is what I liked about Alltel... in the northeast it would roam 1st on Verizon as there weren't any Alltel (owned) towers in the Northeast. Now Alltel is part of Verizon so it doesn't really matter.

I guess you could load custom PRLs depending on where you were, etc. but that is a whole different conversation for another time.
