J.D. Power says Verizon, US Cellular and Sprint excel in call quality
The annual J.D. Power & Associates survey about wireless call quality has taken place and the results have been announced. It looks like Verizon, U.S. Cellular and Sprint are the carriers that excel in this category the most. Wireless call quality rating is based on the number of issues that have occurred, including dropped connections, echoing, connection failures, distortion and so on. US Cellular gets the award in the North Central part of the country, marking its seventh consecutive win. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are dominated by Verizon, with Sprint Nextel still equal to Big Red in the West.

Surprised? I guess you haven't been looking at recent independent studies that show Sprint either right there with VZW, or just behind them (in voice quality and coverage). Data is flipped around, with VZW either right there with Sprint in data speeds, or just behind. CDMA FTW!

im not surprised peoples perception of sprint is very outdated!

Wow, how old are you, 8? All you do is boast about the Storm and Verizon. Stop bending over backwards for them and act like a normal person.

Oh folks, and there we have it, yet again! I just don't understand why people even bother boasting about their lousy, lousy GSM networks. Yes, AT&T has the iphone, but once again, we see AT&T's network is worthless! Tell me something iphone lovers...what good is your precious little phone since it's on such a shitty network? VZW + Storm = success! Sprint's network is decent, if you can find service...

I have never been without signal with my iPhone yet my friend who has the Instinct gets no coverage all the fricken time. I Have driven from Kansas City, MO to LA with no loss in coverage. And in my area it's all 3G with (atleast) a 100 mile radius. The Storm is just crappy phone in general, terrible touch display. But, I love the Pre, atleast what I have seen about it.

You may have a good experience with them but there have been at least 3 outages of voice, data or both in all regions of the country, granted not all at the same time

20. YouLostTheGame posted on 25 Mar 2009, 15:05

I'll take my Storm's touch display over your iphone any day of the week. I don't know how I'd use a non-surepress touch screen after using my Storm. There are SO many more options with the advantage of surepress technology. And what was that about the surepress tech winning an award for the best innovative technology at MWC in Barcelona? Sit down you fool! Now that I think about it, I WOULD use an iphone to wipe my ass with! Of course I'd prolly have to download an app for $10 to do it!

Glad you're backing off the wild "Storm outselling the iphone" claim but what does that one immature device have to do with Sprint moving up in the rankings?

22. vzw fanman posted on 25 Mar 2009, 17:16

23. DonLouie posted on 25 Mar 2009, 21:08
