ICEMAN1647545504 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Anyone have one of these??? How do they compare with the iPhone??? I have the iPhone right now but if I switch to Sprint I'm saving $60/month and getting a better plan. I heard that Sprint doesn't have good service. I travel a lot for work within Ohio so this is a big deal for me. Any input will be helpful. Thanks. (BTW I thought there was a thread about this before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Good luck getting one through Sprint, ive been waiting for almost 2 months for mine.. I have the iphone and will keep it once I get the evo (from work) so I will be a good source once I get my hands on it.. S has better data service than att, i know this bc I have a Sprint data card and travel quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I've had sprint for 4 years now and never had any issues. Dads been using sprint for about 10 years now and never had any big issues, he also travels all over the state for business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have an Evo, the phone is great and I've been with sprint about 8 years without any issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I love the evo, typing this reply with it. Great screen, great camera, very responsive, and HTC sense is a nice skin for android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944s2 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Same here have the Evo waited about 7 days for mine just get on a waiting list at Sprint or BB. Have had Sprint for 10+ years and love it. No major dropped calls traveled to FL no problems the whole way, and VT every year no problems even on the tops of mountains while snowboarding. The plans are awesome because they usually include free roaming which helps a ton! Oh and the EVO kills the Iphone lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 my first one crashed and burned with a self update, however they had me a new one in like 2 days and it's been flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Forgot to mention fuck Sprint for taking an extra 10 bucks a month for absolutely nothing. I will retract that after they light up 4g in columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will retract that after they light up 4g in columbus. Oh yeah I agree... although maybe in a few months we can get this charge removed. BTW is Sprints, data truly unlimited, like if I use my phone for my laptop will I get charged if I go over so many gigs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I have one and love it, ive had it about a week and its been flawless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I played with one at work, and it's just like my Droid except it has a bigger screen and no keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I went to look at one today. I think I am going to pay the early termination fee to get out of my current contract and go with one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Forgot to mention fuck Sprint for taking an extra 10 bucks a month for absolutely nothing.

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I dont know much about 4G or 3G so is there anything better in Columbus than WiMaxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I dont know much about 4G or 3G so is there anything better in Columbus than WiMaxx? WiMax isn't in Columbus, and who the hell knows when it will be. BUT, T-mobile just rolled out HSPA+ to many metropolitan areas, including Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dayton. HSPA+ delivers 4G speeds, but isn't technically 4G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhatch Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 We have been thinking of paying the fee to drop Verizon and move to Sprint to get a couple of these phones. Verizon's fees for web service seem to be high. We used to be Sprint customers many years ago, sorry we ever switched to Verizon really.

paktinat Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've had sprint for 10 years, and the only place in the country I've had issues is at my parents house in rural geauga county (up north) other than that no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 If Sprint didn't work at my house, or pretty much whenever I travel I'd consider changing just because of cheaper rates, but I love my Droid so I don't really see a reason to switch.

Putty Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Since i'm a BES admin, i've had the chance to attend conferences with VZW, Sprint on their up and coming tecnology. I must say Verizon seems to have the best future ahead of us. A while ago when the frequency changed and people had to buy new TVs and shit....they are buying up all that freq space all over and about to drop major shit on wireless. Wimax was created to replace wifi or be an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Anyone have anything bad to say about the EVO 4G? what are some thoughts on it? work is finally upgrading my phone, and I have a choice of any sprint phone.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Switch from the Iphone and get the Captivate. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 My EVO is great! I don't miss iphone in anyway. I have not even rooted my phone and the experience is far better. Simply with widgets I can change the look and feel. Plus, most of the apps I used on Apple I have found in the Market. My Dad bought an Ip4. I picked it up and it's lame and old OS that was on my 3GS. No interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
