:p;) I switched from Sprint to verizon and got the samsung i-730, after using this phone for almost 3 months there is no way i'm going back to sprint or att ever. 3 months of no droped calls, a phone that works just about everywhere including the DC area Metro trains. There is no real advantage of using your phone as a modem since while you are doing so you can't make or recive phone calles. for $59 per month i got the KPC 670 air card and now I could do both at the same time. Those phones are for people that need them for work and not for people who just like to have a toy.
