Re: To all those who have Sprint...be patient...

so many angry people, lol

i jumped sprint, not because i didn't like them, because i did. my plan was cheap, and i had coverage basically everywhere (well, except work and home, lol). i could travel, and still had coverage. compare that with my sister and my parents, who are on TMO, and at the music festival we go to in september (by the way, walnut valley river music festival i highly recommend), they couldn't call. no coverage. not a bit.

that being said, i bought the nexus one today. don't have it yet, so i haven't gotten to play with it. nor do i know how great my coverage will be. but, i'm supposed to be in 3g coverage where i live and work, so, most of the time, i should be okay. i also get fewer minutes. but, i never used them anyway, and i'm hoping i can set up a free voip service to use most of the time anyway, as i'm almost always in wi-fi range. plus, i wanted a spankin fast android machine. i've had windows mobile for years, and love the fact that i can tweak it over and over. but, you know what would be awesome? getting something that works right off the bat. every winmo phone i've gotten so far i have to go in and spend a lot of time just dinking with stuff just so it works. i know that there are a lot of really cool programs for winmo, and you can get your phone to do really amazing things. but, the OS is clunky, underneath it all, and ugly. sense ui has gone a long way to fix things, but, seriously, why is it that htc is bearing all the weight of fixing the OS that winmo really hasn't done much for in a bit?

oh well, i guess i'll report back, letcha know whether i'm happy, or whether i hate it. sprint was okay. i hear good things about tmo, but we'll see
