Maybe now palm has caught up to windows with speed and memory. Although palm has windows beat on stability hands down. I miss that about palm. Not having to reset my phone every 30 mins.

If you can activate the phone, you can use GPS (provided you have the latest firmware, of course).

It looks Like a cool phone. I would love to try the new autonomous gps feature. Although I saw on a website that you need a plan that is $70 or more to be able to use it. Has anyone heard about this? yeah. It looks Like a cool phone. I would love to try the new autonomous gps feature.

I on the other hand like to give people a chance. Unlike some people with problems I like to stick around and try to resolve them. Since you brought up the marriage deal, maybe that is the reason why the us divorce rate is over 75%, because people just don't stick with something and work on the problems. You say if you don't like the company you don't even complain you just leave before calling them. Companies must love you, just giving them money left and right. This site is just not JUST about NEW Product releases, it's also about cell phone services, news etc... Like Dan said before, one of the reasons why I'm sticking with sprint is because the price is worth sticking it out for. It might seem like I'm complaining 24/7 about sprint but there are just times where the bad seem more than the good. The good thing is that Sooner or later when you speak with Sprint CS you get someone that helps you out. Pierre I'm glad that your 4 years of sprint service have been good and your problems get resolved quickly. I can't wait till that happens to me too.

If something is happening with your service provider and you have other options WHY THE HELL DO YOU STAY? I went through many different providers from AllTel to Bell Atlantic to 360 to GTE to Verizon and i hated them all. When i'm unhappy with something and my contract is up i LEAVE. Heck i paid the ETF to leave Verizon because they got on my nerves. This isn't a marriage where you try to work it out for the good of the family/children so that "GIVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF A DOUBT" BS is just that BS. I'm unhappy. I don't even call and complain more than once or twice. I figure maybe THAT COMPANY may not be working for me so I just leave before i stay and b!tch and complain all day while giving it a bad name. I have been with Sprint for 4 years now and i typically get my issues resolved pretty quickly with no problems. I've nver been happier with a wireless service. At th same time i encouragesd my sister to come to Sprint and she hated it and I was the first to encourage her to LEAVE before i have to hear her mouth about it. THis is supposed to be a new product realease article but JAZ is complaining so much you would think it's the SERO plan article. IF YOU HAVE BEEN WITH THEM 7 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN UNHAPPY FOR 3 MAYBE IT'S TIME YOU HIT HE ROAD RATHER THEN LOG ON AND GIVE THEM A BAD NAME 24/7 Adieu @ Dan and @ Jaz

Any Sprint customer that has been with them 5 or more years will have it. Calling it an abusive relationship and comparing it to an abusive husband is a little over the top. Maybe more along the lines of a husband that is a bad listener is a better analogy. Could he leave Sprint?....of course but with all the billing and CS issues the actually phone service and price is why most stay. I guessing Jaz in on a SEOR plan (becaue of previous posts) and if that is the case is it really worth spending a extra $40 a month to switch carriers so that you have better CS? I personally don't think so considering I may call them 6 times a year but would shell out an $480 a year for it. I want a phone that works if I wanted good CS I would switch to T-Mobile but the service is much more impotant to me. Jaz...the problem with weeding out the unprofessional ones is I don't think there would be anyone left to answer the phones after they do so. The way I see it is they first must stop outsourcing CS to other countires. Americans want to speak to other Americans....why do you think Telesales is here in the states but once you have sevice you are calling who know what country. Once you bring it back to the states you are going to have to pay people more than $9 something an hour. The people they need will not work for what they are willing to pay. They should take some of the extra money gernerated from bumping up the price of SERO to pay for some good CS reps. I would love to see numbers that compair Sprints CS to T-Mobiles in area like average hourly wage and percentage of reps state side becasue I think it would explain a lot.

A cell phone company compared to an abusive relationship. Come on. When you have an interesting comment about the WIRELESS INDUSTRY to post here on PHONENEWS. com then let me know. This isn't a marriage forum. Next time read & analyze the entire comment before posting something that makes no sense. Last I read, this site was for "providing complete coverage of the wireless industry, cell phone news, and future 4G technologies." Unless I'm wrong. Okay Pierre. Really?
