The only probable valid complaint anyone has is they keep advertising the "everything" plan when it really doesn't include everything for the base price. Then maybe people have a valid case. All I know is that with the price increase on my family plan the price per line is still under $50 with taxes. So its still viable for me. All I'm aking is that sprint release some awesome phones and better 4g coverage and put this extra money to good use.

That's not entirely true. People can file complaints with the FCC, BBB, Public utilities Commission, and State Attorney General. Waiting for someone else to take care of it with a court action is probably the worst thing everyone can do.

As for nobody else offering the coverage and/or price, I already posted about that:

Sprint has Wimax that is capable of a theoretical max of 10 meg download speeds. They have 4G covering 120 million people, in 45 cities. That is what Sprint claims. Now some of those 45 cities are really the same city- such as Tacoma and Seattle, or Dallas and Fort Worth.

T-Mobile has HSPA+ that is capable of a theoretical max of 21 meg download speeds. They have 4G covering 200 million people, in 100 cities. And they have announced that they are already in the process of doubling that max speed to 42 meg download speeds and should be done with the network wide rollout in the first half of this year.

And you should also know that T-Mobile does not suffer the same indoor issues that Sprint does with their 4G. T-Mobile 4G works the same way as their 3G. It's an upgrade to their 3G, not some totally new and different technology that uses different frequencies and requires 10x more towers. So their 4G works just fine inside buildings and has far fewer coverage holes. And the tower handoffs are a lot smoother too. Have you ever been streaming Pandora while driving with Sprint 4G? It drops the connection almost every time you change towers. Not an issue with T-Mobile's 4G.

I don't mean to get all T-Mobile on you guys (I actually have an Evo) but I'm just sick of seeing everyone blindly say "Sprint is better" without knowing the facts.

As for plans, I looked at T-Mobile's website and they have the following plans listed, all with unlimited data and messaging:
Individual plans:
Unlimited minutes: $99.99 (Sprint $109.99 with $10 fee)
1500 minutes: $79.99 (Sprint's closest plan is $99.99 with $10 fee for 900 minutes)
Family plans:
Unlimited minutes: 2 lines: $179.99, 4 lines: $319.99 (Sprint with $10 per line fee: $209.98, $409.96)
3000 minutes: 2 lines: $149.99, 4 lines: $229.99 (Sprint with $10 per line fee: $189.99, $249.97)

So lets stop with all the "Sprint is cheaper, faster, better coverage..." It's crap if you actually look at the facts. Yes, in your particular area Sprint may have better coverage, and for your particular plan Sprint may be cheaper. But for the majority of people out there, T-Mobile has faster speeds, better 4G coverage, and cheaper plans.

You might say "but Sprint plans include Navigation..." Well free navigation is available on any smartphone anyway.

If Sprint works for you, fine. But stop knocking this dude for finding something that worked better for himself. It would only help you if you did the research to find out if Sprint really is the best, like you all think. T-Mobile has undergone major network upgrades over the last few years so chances are they aren't the T-Mobile you knew that sucked a few years ago. They now have the nation's largest 4G network, and plans cheaper than Sprint's.
