IIxNullxII Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) So right now I have the Palm Pre from Sprint. I pay about $25 a month for 3k min, unlim txt and data. The Moto Droid will be coming out very shortly over on the Verizon network. I'm loving the Pre, but the two downfalls are the small keyboard and screen; the droid seems to one up both of these factors. Plus, it's running the new Android 2.0 OS. So, with all that said, do you guys think I should stay with Sprint and the Pre, or make the switch to Verizon when the Droid is released. Also, anyone familiar with Verzon: what kind of plans can I expect for about what I pay with Sprint? Is Verizon's data speed comparable to Sprint's? Thanks, Null http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/19/...droid-hands-on/ Edited October 22, 2009 by IIxNullxII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrascope Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 i have a pre as well, and I think it is just to touchy for me definitely prefer a stylus to my finger, have not looked at the droid so I don't know if it remedies that problem.

Overclocker16 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Have you looked at the HTC Hero or the new Samsung Moment coming to sprint around 1 November? The Hero is supposed to be a real nice phone, although no physical keyboard and the Moment is a slider. Personally I like the Sprint network and the deals I get for them, so if you are looking for an Android 2.0 based phone, those both from sprint feed your needs.

Kash Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Definitely go with the Droid. You get a superior OS, superior hardware, and a superior network (Verizon's data network is not only faster but also more ubiquitous. Not sure how Verizon's plans hold up in comparison though.

SMeeD Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Are you on the SERO plan? Unless you've got some type of hookup Verizon is going to be like 3x as much a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Are you on the SERO plan? Unless you've got some type of hookup Verizon is going to be like 3x as much a month. I was wondering HOW you can get so much for that much paid, even SERO isn't that cheap!!! the HTC hero runs on the same crappy hardware as my touch pro, avoid that. I'd play around with the droid first... Verizon likes disables features on their phones..... (or so I hear over at PPCgeeks) Edited October 22, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I was wondering HOW you can get so much for that much paid, even SERO isn't that cheap!!! A friend of mine was able to get on it after selling a whole bunch of cellphones while working at Best Buy. For that kind of deal Id continue paying for the plan even if I had a phone with another carrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that kind of deal Id continue paying for the plan even if I had a phone with another carrier. yeah really I pay 69.99 right now for the everything sprint plan <_< Verizon claims unlimited usage, but in reality slaps you with a 5GB per month cap, plus prohibits use of the service for anything but basic surfing and e-mail, and will terminate your service if you violate their unlimited limitation caps. On the other hand, Sprint truly has no usage limitations, as attested to by many reviews. http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Product...vs-Sprint-88563 I may never leave sprint, and depending on whether or not the HTC Leo can run SERO. I'll get it (ebay has sero accounts) say null, can I get sero from you?? Edited October 22, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIxNullxII Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 You have to work for Radio Shack for a few months and get on the Employee plan. Then have your manager fired and then quit before the new manager realizes you have the plan so they don't cancel it when you leave.
