Re: Should i dump Verizon and come to Sprint for HTC Touch Pro?

Sprints netwrok coverage is reletive to your specific location. Don't try to make it sound as though Sprint has bad coverage everywhere because thats not even close to true. I can go skiing and get a Sprint signal in the mountains while Verizon users are not. This is specific to my area and does not represent the kind of coverage someone in Indiana might get. Seriously people....plus each phone is different. Some pick up signals better then others.

One place i looked said that the networks are identical, others say they are not. Thank you, so the coverage does vary, that helps.


Can someone answer the second part of my question? Can i use the phone as a GPS receiver? Ideally, I'd like to connect it to my laptop though bluetooth, and just have the phone relay the coordinates to the laptop, where i'll be running the navigation software.
The network structure is the same (EVDO/CDMA) but that doesn't mean both will have the same reception. That depends on the amount of towers each has and in what area's. You would have to find out how both are doing in your specific area to know which is really performing better.
