1 edit | Taking the bait? Well lets see, Sprint "hinted" at it, though they already offer unlimited everything in 5 other markets, so it was going nationwide. Verizon takes the bate, and tweedle dumb follows (AT&T). So , now Sprint can sit back and let VZ/AT&T set the price, they can come in, undercut and gain a few other customers. What Sprint should also do to sweet'n the deal, no ETF or just use a 1 year contract. Want to add a family member? Add 25.00 each line up to 3 or 4. Sprint has a chance here to make Verizon look like the chumps they are so I hope the new CEO has the balls he's been swinging around and put it to "the other guy". Go Hesse!!  | |

| A friend in a remote area... Was going to get a Cellular USB device for his internet access through Verizon - but found that even Verizon doesn't cover his particular area, so he's going with ATT.
ATT already has pretty much the exact same plan - 5GB/month for $60.00 of "internet" usage with the USB Dongle that can be swapped between his laptop and desktop as needed.
Since he's on dial-up at about 33kbps he's willing to pay it. 5GB/month isn't a lot, but it is plenty for the average internet user who isn't downloading pron or music all day long every day.

| Wait for LTE... Unless you in a dire NEED of this latest unlimited promo - I would:
1) wait until LTE becomes a reality
2) gadgets come out that are OpenMoko-like, not just with BREW, but basically give you the full power of a PC platform in a handheld format
When LTE becomes real, you can expect prices of unlimited plans to drop significantly as LTE will provide significant (can not quantify it off the top of my head, but look around to see the improvements in bandwidth) improvements over the current CDMA2k EVDO revision.
For some reason, they also ditched UWB (CDMA-based) for LTE... even though they're both OFDMA and very similar (and UWB is real today, I believe, whereas LTE has yet to be demonstrated). | |
