Re: Sprints commercials are false.
its the commercial where they have two goobers sitting next to one another and the sprint guy says yes to every city they mention access in and the cingular guy says no to every one.
I suspect Cingular will be issuing a statement to Sprint to either pull or edit the commercial to reflect the truth.

Personally, I don't care.
Cingular still doesn't really have much coverage in Los Angeles (San Fernando valley = Los Angeles) , Denver and Minneapolis.
Sprint, on the other hand, may have more 3G coverage, but their network is so small, that I'd be roaming most of the time. Do handoffs between Sprint and Verizon work without dropping ? I don't think so.
Each have their advantages and disadvantages, and both companies have their PR spin doctors out to promote their company at the others expense. It'll be a while before Sprint stops bleeding Nextel customers, so you may find some good deals while Sprint is hurting. I'd personally rather go to T-Mobile. |

The commercial compares Cingular's HSPDA to Sprint's EVDO and the Cingular guy saying "no" is saying that they don't have HSPDA in that town...not that there's no coverage, but they don't have their high-speed broadband. |

Tulsa, OK | they have HSDPA in some of the towns mentioned. Towards the end they start blurting them out so fast it is hard to hear them, but they are there. |
