Re: race to the bottom? You can't really go by the unlimited plan yet because that started over halfway through Q1.
Sprint's customer service is slowly getting better.
Their commercials are getting better and make more sense.
Their phone lineup will be getting better I think.
QChat will be a good thing once Rev A is more widely available (mainly identical coverage to iDEN).
WiMAX is still unknown.
They need to buy out iPCS if they can afford it. People in those areas suffer greatly when compared to native Sprint areas.
This is all speaking about the CDMA side though. I don't believe they will be expanding iDEN anymore. Nextel customers were loyal and they really dislike Sprint (although Sprint isn't that bad in most areas), but because of the merger, Nextel customers didn't want to stay with Sprint, so most of them are the ones still leaving.
I don't know why some people think another merger is the answer. T-Mobile is a completely different technology, and the resulting company would be running 3+ technologies. That just spells disaster IMO.
I've had Sprint since 2000 and I've been pretty happy with them. I've only had a couple serious issues in the past 8 years, all of which I got resolved eventually. I've been happy with my phones and my service. Coverage was good in Texas where I lived and coverage is just as good (if not better) here in Illinois where I live. I don't travel a lot, but everywhere I've gone I've had good service. There's a couple areas that I know of that have bad coverage, but every carrier in those areas has bad coverage. |
