| both suck The phone sucks & sprint sucks... also, no wifi, wtf, so why compare it to an iphone? (Thus, a $129 price tag) It was inevitable that regular phones blurred the line between media phone & smart phone. Sprint is an incredibly difficult company to deal with when it comes to customer service. They are VERY ARROGANT when it comes to billing disputes in the sense that they can do no wrong and refuse to prorate any charges when canceling an account (in or out of a contract). Know this now before taking the subscription plunge!!! They will also NOT HESITATE TAKING YOUR ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS IF YOU REFUSE TO PAY THEM AS WELL EVEN IF YOU DISPUTE THE BILL. The company is in the unfortunate position of losing more customers than they gain quarter over quarter. This phone brings nothing to the table to change that. To be honest, Verizon & AT&T offer similar phones at similar prices that don't have an Apple logo.
For now, the only reason I'd keep a cell phone would be for emergency/911 capability. The simple fact is most smart phones cripple WIFI (or don't have the feature) precisely because they don't want the device to be used as a VOIP capable phone.. what incentive would there be for customers to subscribe to cell service if they could just attach to a wifi spot & talk for next to nothing.
Think about it... $3-25 per month with voip versus $55-200 a month for cell phone minute/unlimited plans. |
