Ive been with a shitload of these guys and i think i can give a fair comparison. First off i had cellular one WAAAYYY back in the bagphone days lol. Verizon wasnt bad but if you have a bitch with the querky bills(weird calls never made, internet etc.) you pretty much screwed as they will not do anything about it. Nextel was not as bad as some of these numbnuts say, we had it for years in my HVAC business and never had any problems and the direct connect is a nice feature for some applications. I am now with sprint and have been since the merge with nextel. Sprint and verizon coverages seem to be the same but you pay more with verizon monthly, yes the phones up front are cheaper but the monthly charges are higher. The mms BB problem is bologne, the sprint BB will send and receive any pics you want to send. Verizon sends them the exact same way just hides the web adress that its received on so that you think it was sent to your phone directly lol. Trust me, if you want the same service for a lower price go with sprint, if you like to tell everyone who your carrier is go with verizon, seems to be the fad thing along with the goofy iphone etc. I dont even have a BB now went with the samsung moment and like it way better(ps, get the keypad the touchscreen virtual scks for big fingered neandrathals such as myself) Anyway, in ending arguing about wireless carriers is stupid there are much better things to debate such as Mac vs Microsoft etc. Go microsoft, Bill didnt have to lobby the government to keep his apple from rotting lmao.

I just bought a sprint 8330 , off craigslist for $70, it came with everything wasn’t stolen but, the mied -dec isn’t clear , somoene told that if i wait a couple months the phone would clear itself, then i could activate it again, anyone know if this is true?? , plus I guess on a sprint 8330 there is no place for a memory card ,i se where the san disc goes but, so i guess the sprint 8330 doesn’t have a place to put a memory card in to have music or movies right ? I am very new at this as you see

First off, I’m with Sprint, because Verizon tried to play some games with my bill and they lost.

My girlfriend has Verizon, and it’s funny more often than not, when we are on the road.. ( truck drivers ) she asks me for my phone, as hers doesn’t have a signal. We both have Blackberry 8330’s.

I will stick with Sprint, as they have far better customer service than Verizon, although I notice for her it’s getting better. The one time I had an issue with Sprint, is was a matter of a phone call and the issue was resolved… With Verizon, after several phone calls, they still wanted to charge me for the same thing 3 times.

I’ve had both Verizon and Sprint. Verizon did offer great service and awesome phones, but their pricing is through the roof. I switched to Sprint and I don’t really see a difference with signals. There are places that both Verizon and Sprint don’t have the greatest of signals, Walmart happens to be one of those places (go figure).

I have the Sprint unlimited everything. I love it. I loved Verizon and all but I was paying $155 plus tax a month for the same thing I’m getting with Sprint for $99 unlimited everything. I’d switch back to Verizon if they could match what Sprint is doing, but I don’t see that happening in the near future.

I was with sprint for a year and I got the blackberry curve 8330. It stinked! I was so upset with my sprint curve I desided to swith to verizon. So I bought the verizon curve and I can honestly say, verizon is awsome! Verizon is way better than sprint and tmobile! Trust me! Verizon has MMS, and now the new blackberry curve has flash player! Plus verizon is cheaper and the fastest 3G network. Everyone I know agrees that verizon is better! U gotta have it!

lol was a lil bored so I read a lot of the comments. My 2 cents I started off with Primeco which became Verizon stayed with them 4 some years & then switched 2 AT&T. My AT&T years sucked the in the last year or so in 2007 I got my first smartphone a Blackjack I no Blackberry but it introduced me 2 the world the next year n April/May I upgraded 2 the BJ II around that time it seemed like prices got more expensive speed up 2 this year May I decided 2 go Blackberry (best phone I have ever owned) & 2 also switch carriers I was tired of payin between $140 & $160 a month 4 service. Went with MetroPCS I’m fortunate 2 live n Miami so they r set up nicely here. For $66 a month I get unlimited everything plus phone insurance 4 my Blackberry. Within the next 2 years MetroPCS along with Verizon will be rolling out LTE so hmmm I’m on the cusp of even greater service on the horizon & I will b laughin all the way 2 the bank. I luv my Blackberry Curve
