oh yea, u live in bfe. that also attributes to a shitty signal.

if u live in LA, you have signal everywhere, even in buildings. There are towers on the high rises.

Japan on the other hand... from what I've heard/read is simply AMAZING. MUCH faster, coverage, etc..

Yeah my friend can text decent on his, but not like me.

A lot of times it will change it to something other then what you want, and that gets ANNOYING!!!! especially with abbreviations. My biggest pepieve of the iPhone was you cant turn it to the side and get the keyboard going longways to get you some more room. It doesnt seem natural.

San bernardino is not in BFE. I'm sure they are much better now, but during the merger was just such a bad experience I didnt want to go back

Mattscott · 04-01-2008, 05:50 PM

And currently right now I have full signal BTW.

OC Guy · 04-01-2008, 05:50 PM

NexTels WERE pretty cool and innovating back then IMO.

!Xoible · 04-01-2008, 05:50 PM

matt be happy with what you got, as long as it works for you. nothing's perfect in this world man, except me, obviously

I had tons of issues with Sprint reps, they didn't treat me like an enterprise level customer I was (obviously being a big company we had a huge account).

The one good thing about sprint. Free incoming calls.

I am happy with my service. With my phone. The only thing that this phone lacks to the iPhone, is the GUI, but nothing will ever compete with apple GUI's

A girl I know has a cracked Iphone for ATT, and complains it freezes too often. I guess switching to ATT with that phone is a negative. My 3 choices... Stay with verizon, t-mobile, or cingular.
