Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?
 

People attach their honor to things they worship. The truth is every carrier will give good or bad service at various times. They either have good or bad coverage depending on where you live. The only variation is people and their need to attach themselves and their honor to something, which yes is stupid.

And the Verizon TP is fine, including the stock ROM. It may not be what a small group of hardcore fanatics want, but they didn't design the phone for that group. Take a step back and look at the big picture, too many things get blown out of proportion these days. A specific phone is the dumbest reason to switch carriers.

I could've gotten a sprint TP and made it work with verizon. I could've gotten an alltel one. But guess what, it just isn't that important.

For many of us, it does not matter if we love sprint or not. We who stay with sprint have plans that no other carrier would keep us on. For Me, I just received a $800 credit to my account, sprint gave me credit for shipping, activation and cost of my new to me diamond, so I payed only $70.... Issues with the instinct, which is good because this phone is better.... My plan, and why I will remain a sprint customer for life is : free and clear 1000 min for $40.00 includes: unlimited internet, text messaging, data, downloads, free at 7, bonus 1/2 min-- weird I know but sometimes I go over for that amount of time, tep $7.00--- strangely I am not required to pay the $50 replacement cost- all replacements free- and 22% concession, 1 yr contract ( now this took some work and many calls:headbang:) so looking at about $45 dollars a month includes taxes...... lifetime plan So, do I like sprint--yeah, they work for me, I have to keep them bad customer service and all.

I love it when people bash Sprint and then I tell them everything I get and how much I pay.

SERO Fair & Flexible 500
500 Anytime
Unl. Nights/Weekends
Unl. Sprint-to-Sprint
Unl. Texts
Unl. Data

$30/mo.

Which is less than Verizon charges for JUST DATA.

That shuts them up quick :)

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?
 

In all fairness you can't really compare a deal like SERO to a normal plan. It was never meant to be a mainstream offering and it probably won't last for too much longer as the newer devices are going to require new plans. I don't have SERO but I do have an old cheap voice plan combined with the old $15/month unlimited data plan. I don't think I could order that with my phone today if I tried to. Still, I may finally upgrade my plan if I need to do so in order to get the Pre. I will probably just switch phones and keep my plan and then add my girlfriend on with one of the newer plans.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?
 

True, but you can't compare the prices of the unlimited plans... Sprint has everyone beat by a mile. AND it doesn't hurt to have the extra ram.

Well they have to do something to compensate. :D
