Sprints Lack of WP .... what are you going to do?

[astraith]

First off, Mods, feel free to move this topic. Have no idea where it should go. Technically, i am talking about future phones that may or may not happen.

Anyway ... Are you going to wait to see if they support it next year -- which they might get one, maybe the HTC one. Or are you jumping ship?

I sm going to ATT for the Nokia 920. If it comes to Verizon, then I'll get it there instead (they actually 4G in my areas). And when they ask why ... I'm trellng them because they aren't supporting WP8. Specifically, the Nokia 920.

So who is with me? Anyone?

I would get an android or iphone if I were on sprint. That unlimited data is just too much to give up for a phone when there are options that do the same thing.

When I lived in the US (now in NZ). I always recommend people to move away from Sprint. because I kept getting told that Sprint's network is slow and it has limited options for what phone you want or you get that specific phone months later. when it was released on the competing carrier

T-mobile is doing a Unlimited data thing similar to Sprint. So no point to stick to Sprint now

Sprint is the slowest of the main 4 US carriers by far. If I was a feature phone user, I'd consider then. But I can't imagine being stuck with them as a smartphone user.

i would do exactly as i am about to do... ditch the carriers altogether. i am switching to straight talk for $45 a month and unlimited everything. bring any gsm phone you want... i am tired of being locked on contracts and depending on my carrier to support the phones i want, especially with updates... no more verizon...:lol:

T-Mobile's new unlimited plan has removed Sprint's last competitive differentiator (other than rural coverage versus T-Mo). If you want fast unlimited everything, T-Mo's Value plan is faster AND cheaper than anything Sprint can sell you.

Yep. I ditched Sprint for T-Mobile at the beginning of 2012. I haven't regretted it one time.

After much debate, I dumped Sprint yesterday and bought a Lumia 900. On a month to month plan so I can always go to the carrier that has the phone I want. I told Sprint why and they only seemed interested in selling me iPhones and Androids. Not interested.

After 9 years, and thousands of dollars, I will be bidding adieu to Sprint once the new 920 becomes available. I’m absolutely bored with the IOS/Android lineup Sprint insists upon me. I still use my Palm Pre. Once I saw the wireless charging on the 920 my decision was finalized. I’ve never used a Nokia before, I’ll give it a shot.

Regarding the valid concerns about unlimited data, I do have a question; In our wifi world, where about 90% of my time I have access to a wifi network, how Important is unlimited data via cell network anyways?

Regards

I guess that depends on location. I have little access to WiFi throughout my day so I need unlimited.

[DontHate707]

im a young guy stuck on my dads plan because i cant afford to pay my own cell bill YET but, i will be desperately trying to get my father to switch carriers lol if that fails... i just i'll have to wait...

-__-

and ive always hated sprint and there crappy phone line up and slow connection...

 

[palandri]

Does Sprint still cut people off, ie, terminate their contract, if they roam over 50% of the time?

It cost more than Sprint! So not really a solution unless you don't mind paying more.

You cannot tether with straight talk so that's a strike against them.

If WP is that important to you then I would switch as soon as you can. Sprint sold its soul to Apple (to the tune of $15.5 billion) and they don't even expect to make a profit off the deal until 2015! They're low on cash right now and there's no way they're taking any risks anytime soon.

$250 for a new unlocked 900. I dont buy used. Ever.

 

[btgusto]

I wrote an email to them expressing my displeasure. I am closing my account when 920 comes out. I'm still holding out some hope for sprint BUT its 920 or bust

 

[Descanso]

I did the same already Gusto. I got some generic response like "stay tuned for exciting new devices from Sprint" gobbldegook. I'm not holding my breath.

Cool. Below cost even. Being unlocked, is that a European version, as AT&T is not providing unlock keys till after 10/8?
