thats a bold statement, my boss pink katana works in here like we have a tower in the office and my TP gets about the same service as being in a tunnel

Verizon sucks...PERIOD!

But if you decide to stick with Verizon, your best bet is to get a Sprint Touch Pro and put it on the Verizon network as explained in the thread above.

LOL, what an intelligent statement.........

The place I work has 74 phones on a vz corporate account. Probably two years ago, those where all Sprint phones but we switched over to get vz's much better nationwide coverage (it certainly wasn't to save money).

Lets think about it, Sprint charges half as much as VZ & has a better high end phone selection. VZ is one of the largest phone companies in the world & making money hand over fist while Sprint is on the verge of bankruptcy. I wonder why that is??

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

I went and stuck with sprint because I got into the SERO program. So I have two phones on the old $30/mo plan and 1 on the new $59.99 plan.

The true intelligent statement was your assumption that I was speaking about Verizons coverage...Bravo!

Never a bad idea to find out the facts before making a statement.

because we break our phones and go in for insurance claim when new phones come out? lol or because we threaten them everyday that we are going to cancel their service if they dont give us the $30 sero plan

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

Hey MaybePurple, my name is BJ DeHut and I am a representative for Sprint. Obviously I am biased but I think you should do the switch. Gizmodo did a 3G data Test last month and Sprint came up on top (check the article here: http://gizmodo.com/5111989/the-defin...t-3g-data-test)
Thought service is very dependent on location so check this map to make sure you’ll get good reception in your area: http://coverage.sprintpcs.com/IMPACT.jsp?mapzip=
The Touch Pro is an amazing phone, and later next week (first week in February) Mozilla will be launching its Fennec browser for the Touch Pro!
