SOCIAL: the big question

[beth byrne]

i have to weigh in on the sprint side. i have used them for 10+ years and
have never had a problem with them. i think i have had 2 or 3 billing issues
and they have fixed the immediately. i have a great plan and pay pretty much
nothing for it. the only places i have had problems with coverage are the
lost coast and montana (and no one i was with had service either). i even
had great reception in my basement apartment.

obviously since i have used sprint since the beginning of time i can't
really say much about types of phones from other providers, but if you want
my opinion on models, i would have to go with dan's suggestion...

good luck and looking forward to playing with your iphone apps ;-)
