"Yeah, their network sucks." - Alcohol
I don't see anything in the reply that says your area. So once again PROVE their NETWORK SUCK or retract such a broad and incorrect statement. |

You are talking out of your a$$. If there is *anywhere* Sprint's network is rock-solid, it's north-central Jersey. I've been all around the Brunswicks/Somerset/the Plainfields, Bound Brook, Metuchen, etc., *never* been out of coverage. |

I guess it depends in what city but so far I've had zero droped calls since I got it in December. I've visited LA and Las Vegas (just a few days ago) with excellent service and zero droped calls.

said by Alcohol  :It's not my opinion. It's a fact. Proof is available by the coverage area map. It's your opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs as well. At my house, only Sprint works fully. (GSM phones get no reception, and Verizon can't maintain a call)
So, yeah. Feel free to compare coverage maps (or whatever), but for many other's actual practical use, one network may be better suited - coverage maps or otherwise. |

I know 10 people who just switched last week from sprint to get the iPhone. They got a crap free phone to use till it goes on sale. |

The iPhone is a status symbol, and a hot one right now. Similar to the PS3 a couple of Christmases ago. We all saw people paying 2x to 3x retail price for those things on Ebay.
I know here in Canada, a lot of people switched from Bell Mobility to Rogers just so they could run an unlocked iPhone (EBay for $600US - $800US) or a look alike. Never mind that at the time, the iPhone wasn't fully supported, and some of the features didn't work right over here, they were just happy enough to have the overpriced thing hanging from their hip.
By having a iClone in their official lineup, they can head off some of the migration. At least until, Apple decides whether to introduce a CDMA version of the iPhone. |

Yeah, their network sucks. Maybe in NJ but no in southern california. If sprint ever don't have a signal, it automatically and for free roams on verizon network. |

Yeah, their network sucks. In your opinion, of course. I happen to think their network is pretty good. It's not my opinion. It's a fact. Proof is available by the coverage area map. |

said by tiger72 :consider yourself lucky. Even when i'm on/around their corporate campus it drops calls. Huh, I don't have that problem. A friend lives near there and doesn't have a problem. But they do have 13,000+ employees/users in a couple block area. Would be difficult to manage. The other carriers that have that many in one place would likely have the problem too.
When I had an ATT phone, I could pick the spot when driving when a call drop, with 100% accuracy. |

Regardless, Sprint gets what they want, even with a knockoff phone: records sales and locking customers into a contract. Sounds like they win even if sales trail off very soon. Right now, it's about revenue.

Why would Iphone affect it's sales? It's a completely different network. Sprint users will buy this phone, ATT users will buy the Iphone.
I highly doubt people are paying the termination fee and switching to sprint solely because of this phone. |
