While we wait I can relate this story from two Saturdays ago. I was riding with a 46 year old friend trying to talk with his girlfriend. He was using an AT&T network with an Ericsson phone. She was probably within 15 miles in a rural but very populated area. I listened to " so we will meet you CAN YOU HEAR ME, HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME, ok so we will be YOU STILL THERE HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW ! CLICK. This @#% piece of *@#!&. This happens all the time. It just cuts off." I said I heard Sprint has a good system and we had another friend that started with T and after his contract was up switched to VZ. He said, " looks like they would spend some money and update to some of the modern stuff." When we got to the next city where he was going to recall her I had almost forgot about that when he said, " There's a Sprint store." Guess he hadn't forgot. Also made me feel better about my QCOM investment.

...it means many people overlook or don't bother to compare piece of crap technology and service with better technology and service;

Also, some areas do not have CMA service available, so they are stuck with AWE, Cingular, etc, or even with VZ amps.
