Wow, this turned in to a pissing match over which carrier is best already? Nice!!!
Sprint
I left Verizon because Sprint gave me $1000 to do it... GOOD SERVICE... I'm saving $150 a month on Sprint over my old VZW plan - and get more functions... GOOD SERVICE... They did my contract, shipped my phones and ported my numbers without having to go to a store... GOOD SERVICE...
As a wireless cronie, I was extremely nervous given Sprint's financial situation, poor ratings and the overall piss poor ratings that people give the coverage. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the coverage, the service and the hardware selections.
Verizon Wireless
Was with them for 7 years - beta tested hardware, got free/discounted devices constantly from them, always had great service both instore and over the phone. Can't knock them too much at all, Sprint was just too cheap not to try.
AT&T Wireless
Was with AT&T prior to the Cingular merger as an account rep and tester. They never cared about making people happy, just keeping them quiet. It was my first experience in beta testing cellphones and it was a great time.
When I went back to them at the beginning of this year to shop plans, they didn't give a darn about my small little business and just tried to shove an iPhone up my butt and kick me out the door.
T-Mobile
The absolute worse service/customer service in the area (Seattle). My wife was with them 3+ years ago and had issues with network lag, dropped calls, missing text messages, etc... They finally admitted that the coverage in her area sucked (Bellevue - where they are freakin BASED!!!) and they let her "BUY OUT" her contract by paying the ETF! Never again - HD2 and all - NEVER AGAIN!
And yes, back to the original topic - it's in internal testing now, still due with an approximate street date of April 23...
