| my take
Sprint has fantastic coverage and 3G in my forgotten part of the US. ATT is horrible and only the insane would get TMobile, as they are just crap. VZ is great as well but they are far more expensive.
The Sanyo Katana was possibly one of the best phones I have ever owned.
I use a Palm Centro now, and while palm may lack the "cool" factor, their os is old but solid. I run a lot of inhouse software on it. It works with all of our computers, and it replaced the need for having a blackberry and a phone.
Sprint does great in the places I spend most of my time in.
The only thing ATT has is that it will work in remote areas of northern NY, where there is no other provider. In the cities ATT is with TMobile as the worst.
It varies so much person to person that it all this pecker measuring about networks and phones comes down to what is best for the particular user.
Palm is great because it is easy to code for and stable enough for the field. WM6 crashes a lot more so we switched many of our GIS applications to Palm. They need a better browser...

| I think there are people who just want to bash Sprint based on a past experience. Sprint added CDMA to 4000 Nextel sites and went from 255m pop coverage to 262m today. The network is pretty solid now and they have better roaming agreements than any carrier.
My brother has a Sprint phone in NYC (Brooklyn) and broke then antenna off - still no problems. And he train travels to Philly/DC/Boston often.
The network is a non-issue, it's the customer support that still needs improvement. |
