I have NEVER had a problem with Sprint and I will always continue to use their service.

But little do the Verizon fanboys know, their phones are so crippled it's not even funny.
Look at the touch pros for example, compare a Sprint to a Verizon, which would you rather have?
I go with verizon cus im with verizon. Makes no sense dude. And there really is that much of a diffference you know. I have plenty of ram usally 70MB free with tf3d running. Why do you need more. Scott's rom has helped alot and working gps and it makes phone calls WHAT. Also improve audiopara. What more can you ask for it runs fast smooth and makes me warm inside. All that is missing is fm radio in my opnion and i can do anything you can do unless you have something special your hiding let me know. But all in all the same with tweaks and new rom. But again everyone Sprint and Verizon have upgraded from there stock rom. If only we could compare stoock to stock then i would say yes your right. But how many have a stock rom running. Poll time. NONE

Right, that all makes sense. Justify your lower RAM device with a custom ROM. I'm sure that would work great if you were trying to sell someone an underpowered Sony Vaio that was actually MORE expensive than a more powerful Dell computer.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

I have had ATT(Cingular), Alltel, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Honestly I have had the best service with sprint. Both in reception and customer service. When I was 18 (with no credit) I tried to get a VZW phone and they wanted a deposit that was almost 2x what it would have been to pay my whole contract in full ahead of time (which they would not let me do). I went with the other providers (no deposit required) and ended up canceling my contracts with them before the 14day money back period. Been with Sprint since 2003 and havent had but one problem that was fixed in 24 hours and I was credited.

Re: Why does everybody hate Sprint?

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

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.

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.
