I've been with Sprint for a long time now. Almost 5 years. I was with Cingular prior to that but switched to Sprint when I lived in an apartment complex in which Cingular provided no service for. Currently I live in the Atlanta, GA area, but with my job, (Airline Pilot) I move around the country on a daily basis. I'm tired of having to pack around my laptop, and i'm tired of these hotels blocking half the sites I try to visit... including ar15.com. Sprint doesn't offer a huge selection of Smart/PDA cellphones. Should I switch to AT&T to get a better phone selection? How is their service compared to Sprint? I won't be purchasing the iPhone because it's junk. I'll wait for the second generation being a Mac fan and all. I would most likely go with a BlackBerry with built in WiFi. Your suggestions? -MEI |

AT&T has some really great phones. I would go with a TREO 700 or 750 with windows mobile. I think that what the model was anyway(newest). I just did a project where I switched over about 500 PDA/phones to a new mail domain. I also updated softwate over the air. The download was about 2.5MB. The TREO on AT&T was screaming fast. I could completely finish one in about 3-5 minutes. The others took 20-30 minutes except the TREOs running PALM software. Thet took about 10 minutes. The blackberrys were diffrent. It just had to go through enterprise activation. Not sure how much of a download that is. But it took a ling time when the mailbox migrated over if they had any amount of mail. I played with the browser on the 8700 and it was slow. Kinda like fast dialup compared to a decent broadband with the TREOs. I dont know if the 8700 has built in wifi or not. My 7520 doesnt. If it speeds up browsing it might be worth it. You couldnt give me a pearl with free service. Well maybe if it was free. Its like the anti Blackberry. I also had a fewer mewer Blackberrys that had a ball type navigation instead of the jog wheel. They were faster but not a whole lot. |
I forgot about that in my post above. I travel a grat deal at times. I mostly stay at Hilton sometime Holiday Inn Express. If Im in a real small town Hotel 8 or similar. I think if the weathers good itd better to stay in the car. I have never ever had web sites blocked. |

ALL cellphone service sucks!! IMO, AT&T is the most expensive, but you get coverage in the most areas, however, it may not be the best service or near the fastest anytime. The Iphone's are cool, but the one's I have used are very slow in comparison to my Verizon. Verizon has done very good by me. I switched from Nextel (Sprint last year after 8yrs) and haven't looked back. I have the new MotoQ 9m, great phone, windows based, easy to use, can be used ass amodem for a laptop with no extra fee and fast as DSL. Good luck |
