And yes, they do have great phones to back up themselves with. Planning to get the HTC Hero as soon as they launch it. Would also love the HTC Touch Pro2 but that seems to be overpriced at this point.]]>Sep 10th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/
I've been with sprint for 10 years now. What a ride it has been. Now we've got great phones, and STILL the best plans around, not to mention 3G reaching far and wide.

The other guys better sit up and take notice because this WILL change the game.]]>Sep 10th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/
This is excellent news for consumers. The only thing that stands in the way of prices falling across the board are exclusivity deals with phone makers. If I could get the iPhone or the BB Bold on every carrier, all bets would be off...it would come down to pricing on plans.

Where are the feds on exclusivity deals? ]]>Sep 10th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/

There isn't a chance in hell AT&T will match this. Nor Verizon I don't think.]]>Sep 10th 2009 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/
you need to look at this test that was done by pcworld recently this year.

http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=167391&page=1&zoomIdx=1

clearly shows sprint not so fast......and their WiMax?? a big mistake since the whole world is going LTE

What this is gonna cause, if this does attract new customers is overload their network lol]]>Sep 10th 2009 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/
As I see it .. Its the "home" area . If you roam the unlimited doesn't work. You may get
"coverage" but you are roaming. and that goes against your 450.

Look at there coverage map see all that roaming? They have entire states that are not covered.

Now look at the Altell map and see what they cover as home. nearly the entire country is covered.

That is a issue for some people ]]>Sep 10th 2009 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/

they love to be awake in class and take notes when bad stuff is being taught:
'hey, they just raised their mms/sms rates to 20 cents from 10 cents...i think i'll do the same' or
'sorry, if you have a smartphone you HAVE to buy a data $20+ per month data package, even if you dont use data on your phone at all...because we're SURE it'll make the experience more enjoyable for you. again, even if you dont use data'

but odds are the blood sucking vamps at AT&T and other carriers will wake up to see the news, then go right back to sleep. ]]>Sep 10th 2009 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 9th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 9th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 9th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/Sep 10th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/sprints-big-surprise-to-be-unlimited-calling-data-text-and-m/

Sprint is pulling ahead as by far the best provider out there.

A phone lineup that includes the Pre, Touch Pro 2, Pixie, and Hero, free off-network roaming on Verizon's network, a top-notch nationwide data network of their own, and pricing that is by far the cheapest in the industry.

Sprint is knocking home run after home run. I really can't understand why they're still losing customers.
