Here how about this for you sprint lovers. Each day people leave sprint/nexyel for a different carrier. The jive about nextel customers going over to sprint......HA! That may be true for 3% of them. Sprint would have the guts to say nextel is the reason they are the way they are. That is a line of you know what. Nextel was a good company before sprint came along and ruined things. In fact here's an example for all you sprint lovers, guess what you signed up for. You accept ANY and ALL charges from Sprint. Don't believe me. Read the fine print. Also, this no roaming with sprint is supposed to be free. HA! That's a lie. I have had customers bring in their sprint bills and show me that they are being charged for mobile to mobile. When sprints higher ups are questioned about this, the response i got (along with many others) is, "We can charge for whatever we want and nothing you can do about it." No bull. The two biggest carriers in the U.S. are Verizon and Alltel followed closely by AT&T wireless. Sprint is about to fall of the map. Ask people for their honost personal overall experience with sprint and i'm sure they'd agree with me.
I see that motorola had to team up with kodak to make a half way decent phone. Putting that aside. About this supposed 5 mp camera...... I can almost guarentee you it's not a 5mp but more likely a 3.2 or at most a 4mp. I have extensive experience with cell phones and do to this i have found that some camera phones claim to have a certain mp when in fact they are of poor quality. Again, a 5 mp camera in a motorola non the less is funny to me at least. Just my opinion on motorola and vast experience.
To tell you the truth. I have been with sprint, alltel, nextel, cingular, T-mobile, and Verizon (all 1 yr contracts.) I am with Verizon, not because they have the better phones because they are hands down the BEST provider around. I have read that some of you have AT&T and it's better than VZW but let me tell you all something. I know where they all work, and where they all don't work. Ask Truck drivers. They know. I drove for 2 years myself one with Alltel my last year with VZW. I had better results with VZW as did most Truckers. It not only depends on the coverage itself. Most have missed another important factor. The phone itself. Some phones are worse than others when it comes to reception. This is true for ALL carriers. So basically just find not only a carrier but a phone as well. Never trust the sales rep, they work off commisions. They'll tell you anything to make the sale. Talk to a variety of the carriers customers and determine for yourself. The carrier with the worst reception and worst customer service is Sprint with a great lead. I speak this from experience of others and myself as well. As for Alltel being better than VZW. Hmm......do your research, VZW and Alltel share towers. Again as stated before The phone factor. Do your own research people. Find the one that best serves your needs, not others needs.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
