We have the new BlackBerry Pearl Flip and I like it alot better then the other pearl. We have the Curve, World, Tour, Flip, Storm, old Pearl, and the BlackBerry 8703e.
All of our BlackBerrys (unlike T-Mobile) have 3G data.
whats your zip code?
...
I think you will like the Verizon BlackBerrys more because we have 3G EVDO data on all our blackberrys. Plus you get 3G all over the place.
How many mins do you use a month, and how many texts?
...
need unlim messaging, 600-1000 min w/ n&we
...
I can get you 900 mins, Unlimited night, weekend, M2M, unlimited 3G BlackBerry data, 5 friends and family numbers, unlimited text, picture, video, and IM for $109.99.
All of our BlackBerrys have 3G on them, unlike T-Mobile and AT&T with EDGE only.
Also, our Pearls are free right now in stores, or the Pearl Flip (Im sure you would like alot) is 79.99.
Remember that we have teh largest 3G coverage area so you can bet we will have 3G where you go.

But what is your coverage with sprint?
Sprint can be very spotty once you reach the edge of their coverage zones.
Yes saving $15 a month is a great value all else being equal. Remember that sprint has been cheaper for quite a while, but people are still leaving. Cost of service is not the only thing to look at.
...
the map on the sprint website shows equal or better at the places i checked, over my tmob coverage, but i dont trust maps, i will get the phone and drive arond and figure it out on my own, you know thats really the best way to check coverage i think
if i have to try more then 1 company thats fine, but im not going to let a map online decide coverage for me lol

Yes, the best way to test it is by using it..
But for the maps, make you you toggle it for data coverage. A companies data coverage is often less than the voice coverage.
...
ya, i did that, i used to work for tmob so i am familiar with a lot of that stuff........i guess the main reason I'm asking all this is because after my research i decided on sprint, but over my years of selling wireless i heard nothing but bad of sprint, so I'm just scarred of them lol

If their press releases are accurate, they are working hard on improving that...
But yeah, they are still losing millions of people per quarter, so work carefully. Verizon is a bit more expensive, but I've had service with them for about 3 years (2 years before I started working for them) and I've never been surprised by a bill, which is nice.
...
do you know if they do 1 year contracts?

Sprint? no idea.
Verizon offers it, you just pay more up front for your phone.
...
thats what i figured, i would prefer that too
...
If you really want 3G service, Verizon would of been your best choice. Sprint doesn't have 3G roaming off Verizon's network. Its only 1X.
not to forget, I don't think Sprint has MMS on there blakcberrys. I know my friend didn't have it on his BB when he had sprint last month.
...
If you have been enduring T-Mobile's coverage, Sprint won't be any worse.
