With Sprint all the hottest phones require SEP, so you will be stuck with 2nd rate phones just to keep your plan. Once wimax hits i'm almost positive all sero plans will not work with that service but of course it might. Winmo doesn't usually require a plan change but as you've seen Sprint doesn't have very many winmo phones. They still don't have an all touch screen winmo 6.5 capable phone. Sprints coverage, sero plans, and some grandfathered plans are extremely nice but Sprint by far has the weakest line up. Sprint has the weakest android line up (hero and moment are weak compared to ervius and droid), weakest blackberry line up (att had tour and curve like 5 months before sprint, verizon has the storm2). Sprint is last with blackberry, droid, and winmo, if youre as tech savvy as i am this is highly upsetting. For people who arent grandfathered into some insane package Sprint doesn't even have the cheapest plans anymore.

yes lineup is def lacking, no argument there


but like i said im updating my plan so i can get the newer phones and im still coming out $50 cheaper than at+t with half the minutes, and about $90-100 cheaper than verizon with half the minutes.

and even with tmobile's new plans its still $50 cheaper with same amount of minutes. And with sprint coverage in my area being def better/faster than tmobile and att and on par with verizon i just cant see the logic in shelling out an extra $600-1200 a year for a better selection of phones

this is with 3 lines with unlim data and messaging on each line. its ridiculous how at+t/verizon make you pay $20-30 PER LINE for data

Examples please. In my research I am seeing T-Mobile's "Even More Plus" plans coming in at around $10 cheaper than Sprint's comparable plans.

you must have missed the part where you compared 4G speeds to the current Tmobile , Att Network sans HSPA+

So you fail to realize your statement is wrong to begin with.

in rorymeadows other thread, look what was posted. No wimax phones till the very end of 2010 (if that). That means hspa+ with 21mbps will be out way before any wimax phone.

Yea Slim that fits perfectly with what Sprints got lined up for the Fall of 2010. More will be available at Mobile World Congress.

I for one am more than capable of waiting for a worthwhile upgrade come this year and jump on the hottest Windows Mobile 7 Spec'd phone.

Also Microsoft has chosen HTC to unveil their flagship Windows Mobile 7 devices later this year in the Fall.

Yeah, that's a big shame, but it goes along with the predictions out there, including my own. I've always been saying that 4G is not that close.

Now it seems 3G+ phones are already out and T-Mobile will be introducing that mid-2010, months before AT&T can send the same message out to everyone. 4G development for T-Mobile will be rolled out following its development within 3-6 months of 3G+ roll-out. Nationwide roll-out for a 4G network will occur at the end of this year and throughout next year. And by that time everyone will be on the same plane. I'm going to work in paint to get a graphic of this up.

EDIT: If I can make it through this Ambien I just took!

HTC HD2 is winmo 7 capable plus i'm almost positive tmobile will have that winmo 7 phone at least 1 month before Sprint will, look at what happened with the tp2. Also with tmobile I won't be in a contract so i'll be able to purchase a new phone no problem and not have to wait till any contract is over. i've looked it over, within the first 30days if i don't have any drop calls i'm dropping sprint for sure.

Do we have to reflash to 6.1 stock first before we flash 6.5. I have 6.5 Mighty War right now.

very true and something i was looking at too.

those plans with no contract are great but the device prices are a little crazy. Atleast with a contract it takes some sting off of the $500+ pricetags for phones. And being the junkie i am I would want to upgrade probably 1-2 times a year especially with whats coming down the line. ouch
