IPhone 5

Is it true that Sprint is getting the iPhone in September or October

Probably, but why keep complaining about it. The speeds you experience are pitiful so you should switch carriers and call it a day. There are several choices so let you wallet do the talking. Not trying to give you hard time but face facts. If I was experiencing what you mentioned in several posts, Sprint would be a distant memory. Hell I'll probably switch as well and I have 4g and descent 3g. lol.

Having said that all that, I guess the big announcement in October may be the game changer we are looking for. Let's hope.

because I'm in a contract and because I'm holding them to their promise of 9/30 as to when the tower upgrades and repairs in my town will be completed. also if I switch I'll face data caps so I'll wait to see if they do that then I'll goto T-Mobile or something when the HTC Radar comes out. but they better come up with a plan soon to resolve this, been experiencing this at home since February that's 7 months so far.

Understood, 7 months though. That's plain ridiculous. After 9/30, I would call retentions again and tell them to pound salt if things don't improve.

yea I'll probably do that and then goto T-mobile and get me an HTC Radar when it comes out and stay with them till sprint gets their act together. although T-mobile does have a data cap their throttled speed will probably be faster than what im seein now with sprint.

Re: IPhone 5

Android users seem to use more data... probably because of the tinkering about with it

Quote:
An analysis of nearly 65,000 cellphone bills in the U.S. reveals that in the first quarter of 2011, Android smartphone owners consumed an average of 582 MB of data each month, compared to 492 MB for iPhone owners.
