1) the dialer feature for conference call is the same technology as being able to talk and web browse at the same time, i already said thats an advantage.
2) covered above.
3) I have cell tower location with google maps and enjoy the instant location lock, so i don't know what your're talking about. cell tower just isnt working with bing.
4) this is your opinion, i love the phones sprint has. gsm gets phones 1st because the world uses gsm, but they don't get better phones "IMO"
5) the ease of changing phones thru sim is not an advantage to me but if you're someone who switches phones often ( i have no clue why) then i guess this would work for you, i don't mind going online and switching it instantly.
6) i don't care what website you are using but evdo rev a speeds and network realiability are greatly enhanced with cdma, i don't even know why you brought that point up. if it was a faster network and more reliable, all these people wouldn't be holding on to verizon and sprint so tough.

Uh, wrong. AT&T was the #1 carrier before the iPhone. They are now the #2. There is no way anyone can say the iphone is the only reason they are bigger than Sprint. They were bigger than Sprint long before anyone ever heard of an iPhone. If anything, the iPhone is hurting AT&T because of all the users taking up data bandwidth.
And don't even get me started on Windows Mobile phones. AT&T's Touch Pro 2 has WM 6.5, and they also have that Windows Mobile phone that has a projector built in. Do you have anything to back up your claim that Sprint has more Windows Mobile users?
Now, to address your claims...
1: The conference calling is not the same thing as using simultaneous voice and data. It's a conference call. Totally different.
2: Simultaneous voice and data is not the same as a conference call.
3: No, you don't have true cell tower location with google maps. Google just maintains their own database of cell towers. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the wuote and link I posted earlier in this thread (to the microsoft forums).
4: How can you say GSM doesn't get better phones? This entire thread is about leaving Sprint for a GSM phone, lol. GSM also has that Windows Mobile phone that has a built in projector, will be getting the Omnia Pro, The Sony Xperia series, and going back they had the Kaiser and the HTC Universal. There is no comparison here. GSM gets better phones, and I don't see how you can even try to debate that.
5: Well for starters- Sprint won't let you switch to certain phones unless you have a certain plan. That is not an issue with GSM. Plus, when you switch phones on CDMA, you are instructed to leave at least one (or both) of the phones turned off for a period of time. Not an issue with GSM.
6: There are WAY more people holding onto AT&T than there are holding onto Sprint. Again, millions of customers leave Sprint every quarter- and have for quite some time. Millions of people join AT&T every quarter, and have for quite some time. So your point about peoiple hanging onto Sprint is ridiculous. When Sprint starts gaining customers, then you might have a point. But right now, that's hillarious that you would even say something like that.
