In our initial review we noted several problems we’ve had with the software, but the list just keeps growing and we are growing increasingly less patient...

sure, u could have a mogul on sprint, exept their network sux and so does their customer service. who else fires you for callin in for service problems?! Besides, the mogul sux. U could use a samsung i760 on verizon with the 6.1 updates, u get the phone, the best service, and a good price.

Say what you want about the customer service (it definitely has been steadily improving), but don't hate on the Mogul just because VZW didn't get it. It's also pretty easy to say the "network sux" and the "mogul sux" without backing it up. And "good price"? With VZW? LOL!! That's the best one I've heard all week! If you want to roll with an all you can eat plan, it's $139.99! That's nearly $1,000 more than Sprint over the course of a 2-year contract! My Mogul does whatever I need it to do, wherever I need it to do it and I bought an Xbox 360 and a PS3 with that money I didn't give to Verizon.

Any true cell phone fanatic would never back Sprint. If you know anything about the industry you would know that Sprint has lost customer base every quarter since the start of 2007. That is unheard of in this industry. So please, don't defend Sprint unless you know the facts. Why in the world would Sprint be the only company to offer a simply everything plan for $99.99? Why do they need their CEO in a black and white commercial trying to appeal to its customer's hearts? Sprint is going down quickly and they are trying everything to rebound. For every new activation Sprint gets, 5 of their customers leave. If you want to know who the best is, trust a company that is non-biased...Consumer Reports. VZW wins every year.

my bad....u must've got it 6 months later like VZW did with the Touch. Either way, Sprint gets you a better deal on everything you need. Can't argue that.

Yet they still have over 50 million customers, are the 3rd largest carrier in the united states and are worth something like 50 billion. They are doing what any company in there position would do to try to ensure their survival, the million dollar question is, will it work? Not defending... just merely stating facts.

Who cares why the Simply Everything is $99.99? Bottom line is: it costs less and offers terrific benefits. The Simply Everything changed the game. Sprint offers very comparable service to VZW at a tremendous value. If you think that VZW is SO much better that you're willing to pay 30% more, go for it. I do know the facts. To answer your question: They have to offer the SE at $99.99 and such to make up for the mis-management of the past. The previous CEO(s) made some terrible mistakes by merging with Nextel, doing a terrible job at merging and re-vamping their billing system and outsourcing their customer service. Also, please show me a source where for every customer Sprintgets, they lose five. That's not even close to accurate. It may have happened for one quarter, but you can't just throw that out there as a broad statement.

Dude, Sprint is the ONLY company with the ASL plan. Which makes deposits lower for customers. I tried to get a Verizon phone and they wanted $700.00 outta me for a deposit. Sprint? a simply $150.00 so yeah New car or New Phone?

i wonder why sprint is losing millions of custmers every quarter and remains to be the cheapest service??? I also see more sprint advertising than any other major carrier.......and verizon does have the mogul, but its called the 6800 smart guy. sprint has the ability to launch phones before vzw because they dont test their product. how is wi-max going? im just waiting to see what is going to happen to that pathetic company. because of cdma, vzw is the only company who could really absorb them, but that wont happen because the customer bas is just too big and the fcc wouldntlet that happen. im sure though at this rate, sprint will only have about 20 mil in a few years and if still in business could get eaten up. good luck with that.

Maybe you should take better care of your credit, if your credit is that bad that justmeans lack of responsibility. i mean how can you have a credit that low to get charged 700, last i checked highest deposit they asked for was $400...... are you in the negatives in your credit score like -120 or something?

lets not forget about those all important ARPU numbers that these wireless companies use. Sprint owns that number averaging bout $55 per subscriber while Verizon and ATT average in the mid $40's. But with so many rumors abound about a takeover you cant help but wonder if Sprint maybe waited a tad too long before it started straightning itself out like you said well have to watch and see.

SPRINT is garbage! Terrible CS and NEXTEL was even worse! I am careless if their unlimited plan would be even $30. All my friends who had Sprint are all with Verizon for several years now. You never get more dropped calls then SPRINT! RIP .... SPRINT.

Lol, wow are you serious. I know for a fact that you are lieing about that $700 deposit. Last i checked it was a $400 deposit. $300 when you do your math right. And you should be embarassed to yap it out to everyone that you had to pay a $700 deposit to get a phone. Can we say "unsightly credit." lol. On my opinion on sprints network, yeah its good that you are paying a good price for your service but as a consumer its never good to hear that your carrier all of a sudden decides to cut off your service when they decide your being a liability to them. http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/sprint-may-cancel-your-service-if-you-call-customer-service-t o-often/ So um..... yeah ild be careful if i were you. You might find yourself one day without service.

hahahaha,, Good one,, he is probably pissed.. Ther are so many people that come here to complain, and as you read what they type you can almost read/see how they are like and why they are the way they are.. I've never seen anyone get charge 700 dollars for a deposit,, I never had to pay anything my self even when my credit score was the lowest..
