Pleeeeaaassse, i've been with Sprint since '99 and in all that time have also tried ATT (way before they were CIngular and back, the worst, GSM in U.S in general) and worked for VZW (remember GTE anyone) as well. For me, Sprint works best. All the places i've been both VZW and Sprint worked best (or i could roam vice-versa). I'll stick with Sprint (and their bad reputation) and their uncrippled phones than the big Red anyday.

Just a take. C'mon, everyone is different, Big red works much better around here.

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

Looks like GPS and Accelerometer is left in tact according to their training material. (The Tweeter game is mentioned and the guide said locations can be found via GPS and VZ Nav.)

The guide can be download here: http://joshstein.com/NeedtoknowTouchPro.pdf

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

It seems TouchFlo isn't turned on by default. Could this be a sign of performance issues?

Come on, give me a break. That's just downright silly to say that (& I'm not vz fanboy by any means)

I have used both networks quite extensively & I travel all over the country on business. The place I work for switched 32 phones from Sprint to vz even though it is quite a bit more $ just to get the reliability of the vz network. Our phones are not toys, they are serious business tools & network reliability is out #1 priority.

vz's phone selection & highest in the industry rates annoy me to no end, but there service is so much better than sprint that there is no comparison whatever.

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

Yeah it's different for everyone. I live/work in the st. louis metro area (two states) and sprint just kills verizon in most places here.

For anyone in a location where sprint is just as good as verizon in coverage, sprint wins hands down. Price and SERO FTW!

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

Sprint roams freely on Alltel's and Verizon's networks. Any advantage in coverage that comes with Verizon's network is pas:sed (swear filter) on to Sprint users as well.

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

I wanna see the sprint compared to AT&T version, because sprint compared to verizon is just silly by how much they crippled it.

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

I'll be honest, I was on Verizon with tons of different phones (I'm kind of a phone geek..imagine that!) for 8 years and I switched two years go to Sprint. I've NEVER had an issue with Sprint and I do a ton of travel. I have the unlimited everything plan, my speeds are much faster, and the phone are great.

Thankfully, I never have to call customer service, otherwise, maybe I would feel differently?

I don't know..in my opinion, Sprint is fantastic though for the price.

Re: Touch pro is different then Sprint's version!

I don't see where Verizon is "so reliable" and Sprint isn't. I've only lost cell service due to a tower outage or whatever once, and what do you know the tower that was down has Verizon and Sprint antennas on it, so my buddy with Verizon was down too.
