A good read -
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-574...ditch-big-red/ Paying retail for phone that aren't as great in design as this? - http://panasonic.jp/mobile/docomo/p06d/ 13mp camera, water proof, 1.5ghz... And since Docomo has SIM unlocking...using non Docomo devices on their network..this is a PLUS. http://www.nttdocomo.com/pr/2011/001514.html |

VZW has some pretty good phones and a rock solid network. I'm really tempted. |

Don't get me wrong, I like free stuff as much as the next guy but it's simply not realistic. Everybody is doing it and Sprint too will have to follow suit. If they don't do it, then they won't be able to keep up with the network expansion and user experience will suffer. Either way, you're paying for it. In the end, the best network /carrier is the one that works. Out here VZW is rock solid. Sprint has "issues". AT&T is a disaster. T-Mo is spotty. But they're all kind of OK outside of SF. Figures .

I was fully ready to jump ship, had i not been able to upgrade my unlimited plan with verizon. as tomato stated though, down here about all the carriers have decent reliability along the coast, as soon as you head a few miles inland most of them drop off. sprint (work phone) and verizon (personal) both work pretty well statewide but i dont imagine i can start up a new contract with either better then my grandfathered contract now (definitely know i can't with verizon)

It's not fair....big shots sitting in the seats in the company need their salary cut. For the amount that Verizon users pay out of the rest of the carriers all these years, I think we've "earned" to keep the unlimited data and great coverage. Verizon sneakingly likes to add fees on top of people's bills. And now the shared data plan is another scheme by them to get more money out of us. Have you seen the crappy phones Verizon has in its lineup, compared to T-Mobile and AT&T? We never got the true Samsung Galaxy S II, a variant to HTC ONE S (Incredible 4g has a different chip and different camera, so it doesn't count). I've seen my bill go up $2 at the start of this year, but it wasn't in the form of the previous outrage of Verizon charging $2? for not having your credit card attached to their site....that $2 is tucked away in the B.S. charges when you read the fine print. So.....paying $500-700 for crappy phones on Verizon just to keep my unlimited data isn't justifiable. T-Mobile seems the better choice, especially since you can swap SIM cards whereas with Verizon and Sprint, you have to abide by their stupid rules and charges even when using another network in a foreign country. |

You can pick up a real phone in Europe, or better yet, Japan or China, that you can watch local broadcast tv and listen to radio on, get unlimited talk, text, data, and quite a few other things people here in the USA wouldn't dream about their phones doing, and they pay less than half of what we do. My sister in London has the latest Iphone, unlimited everything and she only pays £40 a month. That is around $60 a month by today's rates. Try getting any phone company in the US to give you that deal and see what happens. The USA gets totally screwed on internet and phone charges. We pay massively more than anyone else on the entire planet. Please, don't pretend we are doing anyone a favor by allowing phone companies to bend us over a table at every single turn.

I'm getting me a SIM card phone now...i may pay for more data usage ie: 5gb plan or more. I know COMCAST is expensive, but I'l have to rape their bandwidth over the coming years I've been looking at unlocked Android phones on eBay from trusted sellers...they seem to be worth the $450-600 price tag lol. I will dearly miss the Incredible...that phone has done so much for me... |
