I think that I am going to go with Sprint today.
I am going to look at the Moment or the HTC touch pro 2.
Verizon with all the data and everything is like $100 a month and Sprint would be like $60.
I really like the droid, but $30 or $40 a month seems like a rip off. I prefer Verizons service, but dayum, $30 a month more? Really?
Any suggestions?

If youre happy with the phones on sprint than go thaty route.

You will love the keyboard on the HTC touch pro 2 
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

I know that the service is not better than Verizon. I love Verizon and I prefer them.
My favorite phones are:
1. Iphone
2. Droid
3. HTC touch pro 2
So as you can see I prefer the phones from At&T and Verizon first. Problem is I hate AT&T with a passion, they suck and they are $40 more expensive, so they are out.
Then comes Verizon, love the service, prefer them and love the droid, but WITH my 23% discount it;s $95 a month...ridiculous. That comes with only free minutes to VERIZON, no other carriers. Finally sprint, with my discount like $65 a month, free calling to ANY mobile phone (family has AT&T, work is Verizon, freinds have Tmobile) and I like their phones.
I have a Verizon work phone and I love it, but man I just cannot justify an extra $30 a month because I like the droid a *little* bit more than the Sprint phone. I was just wondering how other people justify going with Verizon and not sprint....Location? Service?

Thank GM, I prefer keyboards and touch. I hate all touch. I think I am going to go at lunch here and get it.
Plus Sprint has the "try it free for 30 days" thing and if I don't like it I can return it.

Yeah man I feel you, I am on AT&T and and rightly agitated at their $20 a month fee for unlimited txting when every other carrier is $5. AT&T's service has greatly improved for me over the last year and they are reporting spending more on updating their network than any other network. I honestly dont know much about Sprint's network or service as everyone I know has AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile (Which I hear is atrocious). $30 a month extra bc you like a phone more is a bit much.

j/c Well, after talking extensively with both Sprint and Verizon, I've decided to stay with Sprint. Basically, the same services are $50 a month less expensive through Sprint. The only thing that could possibly happen to make up the difference is going over in minutes...but you can buy bundles of 100 minutes for $5 if you need them. I've always heard that Sprint has the best priced plans, and I agree. I'm going to return my 30 day trial phone from Verizon today to avoid losing my "activation" fee and head on over to Sprint. I'll look at the Hero and something with an actual keyboard.  Let me know what you think of the phones today, BpG!

yah same here...what app is that?!
Sorry guys I missed this until now. I use Orb. You have to have a PC set up with a tuner card in order to do it.
With orb I can also pull up any movie and recorded TV show on my PC.

Will do. Like I said, I love Verizons service, but I can't justify $30 more a month to pay for their TV commercials.

Wait, isn't droid just short for "Android", which is an operating system? Sprint has droid phones...

The only drawback I heard on the HTC was battery life between charges, but I only have to charge mine every other night.

So after all the thought I put into my phone decision I went with the Google "Moment" from sprint. Unlimited Data, text and calls for $62/ month with my discount. I just flat liked the keypad better than the HTC pro touch 2. The HTC pro touch 2 was nice and all, but it would have cost my like $400 out of pocket and the difference between the two was negligible. The only REAL difference was for international travel (which I do not). The girl told me the more expensive one was slower, but that it had some more features, which I wouldn't use. Here it is. http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-moment-sprint/4505-6452_7-33775546.html

I ended up going with the Blackberry Curve. I was really looking at the Tour and the Moment that you got. But I was also buying for my wife as well...and we got both phones(both Curves) for $49...I don't have the Camera Flash or the international access of the Tour(which I was leaning towards most) but my processor is faster than the tour and frankly I couldn't be happier...I love the phone. definitely worth the $$$ I saved over getting the Moment or Tour and a Curve or different phone for my wife.... I have been with Sprint for a while. and I know some have complaints about their customer service(In Person I have never had an issue...) But I haven't had any complaints about their coverage or the performance of their phones...And I love the extras with the Everything package...like Sprint TV(although I hate that NFL Network backed out  ), Sprint Navigation, Pandora, Sprint Football Live, not to mention the Blackberry apps all services can download...Very Happy with the Sprint Package...So much so that I just have to laugh at the mini commercial war between Verizon and AT&T on TV...lol
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken...

Yeah that phone looks like a game changer....It will probably be the hallmark phone for Sprint similar to the iPhone for AT&T and the Droid with Verizon. Who knows if it puts them up into that competition with them though...but 4G speeds...the phone is going to rock...

Not a bad idea, but I think I'll just stick with the Hero for now. I don't even know when little ole Dayton will get 4G coverage.

I'm in the same boat. By time I'm elgible for the upgrade, maybe WiMax will be in Columbus. For now, it's the Hero.

I've never had one with an actual keyboard. I don't text very often and I haven't had much problem using the touch keyboard. With my big paws, I'm better if I have it flipped on its side....

jc. My wife got an Eris (Verizon version of the Hero) and hated it. Couldn't do without the keyboard. She exchanged it for a Droid and loves it. I didn't have the guts to go through Wirefly, though.

Verizon is getting out of control... just went to their website.. and now they have $350 termination fee on their smart phones.. WOW!!!
I have a non-smartphone, and I think 175 is too much..

Love it, love the keyboard, love the apps...the biggest knock was the touch screen wasn't fast, I didn't notice.
Now Sprint's service....meh, it's not verizon, but for $40 less a month I can deal.

Glad you're still happy. I love my Hero, too!
At least you don't pay for roaming with Sprint. The only times you do (and you really just use minutes) is when making an actual phone call while roaming or calling a land line during 7a-7p while in-network. Data and text are free all the time.
