I'd love to move to a Sprint Sero plan and save myself $50 a month, but unfortunately all of my friends are on Verizon and Sprint currently doesn't support PICTURE MESSAGING on their PDA phones [face_unimpressed]

Oh, I don't doubt that Sprint has a fine EVDO network. Never disputed that

But I don't believe that one network can truely claim to be absolutely better than the other. Testing, especially localized and no-controlled, by forum members is suspect.

But that's neither here nor there

Verizon does have Rev A and it works just fine. Much faster on average than your home DSL.

aww, dont be so down.. im sure you are enjoying the fact that you must spend at least 50 dollars a month to qualify for unlimited text messages compared to sprints 10 dollar fee, an i mean it def is wonderful that yall also have to pay 40 dollars for the exact same internet package that seems to be 15 dollars for sprint.. and i mean who would want to leave a company that has a 275 dollar cancellation fee compared to sprints 200. and i know you jus loooooove how your nights and weekends start at 9 instead of 7 free of charge. as a matter of fact.. yall are soo cool, yall dont even need a fav 3 pack either. the crazy thing is, sprint is going to get that picture mail update as soon as we get the 6.1 rom. so really we only missed out on 2 whole months of picture mail.. i swear, i should go to verizon man.. yall got it sooo good {more unimpressed face}

Wow, I never expected you guys to get so defensive. I started this thread just a few minutes ago and I've gotten been bombarded with a full-on Sprint advertisement...complete with misinformation and *outright lies*.

I'll explain my decision, though I really don't have to...

Sprint's service in my area just plain isn't as good. When I was on Sprint a few years ago I just plain didn't have service in my room, leading to an amazing amount of missed calls. I also didn't have service on the Metro. All my Verizon friends had no problems. So I switched. Has Sprint caught up yet? Its possible, but not worth me switching again to find out.

To make a long story short, if everyone I talk to on a daily basis is on Verizon, I'm gonna pick Verizon. I strongly considered (as was my girlfriend) moving back to Sprint for the $50 a month savings, but it simply wasn't worth it. My Verizon friends wouldn't call/text as much if I switched, cause it costs them money. The Maryland-DC-Virginia area is just dominated by Verizon right now, I honestly don't know anyone who doesn't have it.

I got my answer, this thread can be closed.

Don't be worried by the Sprint desperation. They're just trying to stop the bleeding at this point...

I'm still holding out hope that Verzion would buy out Sprint. If Sprint hadn't bought Nextel (

), I think VZW would have snatched them up. Their networks are so similar it would have been a pretty good assimilation.

But another part of me wants Sprint out there to help push the pricing. I heard a rumor that their Unlimited Plan is going to start at $60 instead of the $99 for VZW and AT&T.
