Blackberry Curve with T-Mobile vs Touch HTC with Sprint? - GoFuckYourself.com

Wolfy · 12-03-2007, 10:48 PM

I currently have both phones on a trial basis, and within the next 10 days I need to cancel one of the contracts. I'm really impressed with the Touch, but Sprint is a rape-machine and T-Mobile bills seem less at first glance.

The internet apps on the Touch with Sprint seem faster, but that could be a fluke since I live in the middle of nowhere.

Do you have a preference? Why?

EVDO on sprint that the Touch uses smokes the junkass network Tmobile has.

Google "sprint sero slickdeals.net" and read their threads. That'll help you get your cost down on service.

I have one phone with unlimited internet and 500 minutes for $24. The other is 1500 minutes for about $45...including the internet which is normally another $40 or so a month.

definitely get the SERO deal with sprint, you won't be sorry

TMobile is a shit network, if you plan on being online AT ALL with the phone, Sprint is by far the best network out there

and when Sprint rolls out that new network in 2008, other companies will be scrambling to keep their internet customers

No problem. It's the best deal in cellular, no question about it.

bah, looks like the Sero is only for single plans - I have a family plan. I might try to get the lines split up, though - looks like that would be cheaper anyway.

That's what we did too. All our phone lines are on Sero plan phones.

If you do any type of travel, T-mobile is much better worldwide, not to mention Sprint phones don't use SIM chips which I think is lame...

I don't travel worldwide, so that's not too big of a deal.

So far I've convinced them to give me the unlimited internet for free and both lines have unlimited text messaging. That's a good thing, since one line ismy sons and he did 900 text messages one month :P

We also share 1400 anytime minutes, nights & weekends start at 6, for about $100. Not bad, I guess.

The "Sprint TV" thing is apparently a joke, though. Apparently it doesn't even work because of an issue with HTC/Microsoft bumping heads.
