Since you do have the evo, question, hows your signal strength indoors? Mine sucks when I go into walmart.

It looks to me like you are saying the only thing anyone can do is nothing (wait for someone else to take them to court).

And you are clearly saying it's stupid (makes no sense) for anyone to switch carriers because the only option is a Sprint owned prepaid (Virgin).

You were not saying you, you said anyone.

The fact is filing complaints has proven to be effective in the past, and doing nothing is about the worst thing anyone can do.

And T-Mobile has better speeds, cheaper prices, and better 4G coverage for a lot of (could even say most) people.

As for indoor coverage, yeah, it sucks. It's due to a combination of the frequency Sprint uses, and Wimax itself. It requires a lot more towers than regular 3G.

That's what I was talking about when I said T-Mobile 4G doesn't have that problem. Their 4G is on the same frequency, same towers, etc, as their 3G. It's not some totally different technology. It's the upgrade path from their 3G.

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I said that thinking of my situation. I did not mean to imply everyones situation. In my case, I have a service that works for me. If this service did not work for me anymore then I would switch to a service that did work for me that also offered low prices. In this case it would be virgin mobile since in "my" area tmo does not work for me and other services are too expensive. If I only had a choice for postpaid service then I would choose tmo. As for saying that its better to wait for action I meant, once you file a complaint you have to wait for an action from those institutions which in most cases never happens. Hope that clears it up.

just want to add this: i had 2 lines (sprint & nextel), switched the nextel line to t-mobile last year when i got the hd2. i called t-mobile last month to cancel because i was using 1 line for business and sprint was my personal line...i couldn't afford paying both right now. my sprint tp2 is already sim unlocked, meaning i can go t-mo or at$t whenever i want. t-mo begged my to stay, even offered the hd7 for contract price ($99) and let me keep my hd2. sprint? they said "see ya." i've had sprint since 6/00, t-mobile since 3/10...hmmm...

...sort of like not getting the 2.2 update ...by the time you do, most are rocking 2.3 and you'll still be charged the same lmao!

Hey Dr... Why don't you show us how T-Mo is better (cheaper) than Sprint.
You are the Antichrist!

I'll gladly pay the 10 bucks. Unlimited EVERYTHING except for 1500 land line minutes is worth 10 bucks more. That is BETTER and you are still the antichrist.

You're just mad cuz Sprint didn't ask you to stay. Now you have to come here and insult our beloved carrier who deeply cares for us.
You should go put on a pink shirt already.

I could save 70 bucks per month if I didn't want UNLIMITED services too.
LOL.

10 for me and 10 for my wife... We both got 4g phones.

Luckily I gets discounts. Which I'm sure TMo has offered you too...
23% corporate and 10% Credit union. Right?

[AZTECHKA]

Mine is bigger than yours.

Shampoo is betah...
No... Condishonah is bettah...


I have a cable modem at home... If I want 10mbps I'll put a crutch on it.
This is a phone that does some data.

I do like the new spokes model though.
