The Jim Rome Show

I don't know if any of you guys listen to that show, but he brought an interesting and very valid point. Basically he has a phone with Cingular and a phone with Verizon. He does so because Cingular has the best phones and Verizon the best service. Why can't Verizon just nut up and start making some real quality devices? I wish.

Sounds like a real smart guy... if only he knew, Verizon and Cingular don't make phones. The world has a bigger GSM market then a CDMA market. So there are plenty of cool GSM phones out there then the cool CDMA one.

thanks genius, I know the carriers dont make the phones but the manufacturers make phones better or worse, cheaper and more cost effective based on a carriers wishes. The fact that you guys don't even know who Jim Rome is means you don't like sports, which means you aren't a man, which means you are no friend of mine. Thanks for the mindless input.

You'd think the ESPN guy would have ESPN mobile or what is left of ESPN mobile. No one ever said we didn't know who he was. Lighten up. If you want mindless input, go to a sports forum.

That comment alone right there says you don't have enough testosterone to watch sports, but then again you are on here at 12:58 am like a real winner.

the only thing I find mindless is reading the pathetic posts here by idiotic numbskulls, that do nothing other than complain how the games suck, or they cant download those pitiful ring tones, or the camera sucks. A phone should be a phone first...you want that crap, go into your bedroom and play madden football, and take pictures of your broken out face on your digital camera.....geeze

lol sounds like someone is speaking from experience. You do realize though that Cell Phones are the future, even with the advances we have already had. I have never had Sprint, but I think business wise and data, I think in a couple of years they are going to be the ones on top...and I don't care about the numbers game, great Verizon is on top now, no one ever stays on top.

EVERYONE STOP UR CRYING!!! JIM ROME IS RIGHT!!! He probably picked up a Pantech PN-210 and a Moto KRZR and realized they both look exactly alike and was like WTF?!?! Then went to Cingular and tried the Moto RAZR V3i or that cool new LG and realized damn...this is what a phone is SUPPOSED TO BE!!!

Sprint actually has the best phones plus unlimited data, wimax, Qchat, etc

Data is the Future- and with 4G Sprint is leading the way with its extensive 2.5 GHz spectrum. Plus their Powervision is doing very well too.

Too bad they'll only have about 10 million subscribers when that rolls out. I'm sure the Boost Mobile people will love all this 4g stuff though.. since "pre-paid is the future" 🤣 🤣

I like the 9900 because it is "relatively" better than any other POS Verizon phone that I have had. relative. I actually think Sprint has the best phones out there.

Isn't it nice that the general public sees this fact too? I mean, look at all their net POST paid numbers...btw, why were those in the negative?

The port ratio is now 12 to 1 from Sprint/Nextel to VZW. Great phones and Data but is that all?

Jesus would have just said, "Let there be OBEX." And there was and He saw that it was good. Unfortunately, you can't s'tex, so let it rest.

Ok first of all pull hear head out your arse and read, I was responding to JoJo saying that carriers don't make phones, and I said that is correct but they can regulate what features are on the phone. READ!!!!

I did read, and my statement stands. Give it a rest about OBEX. That's been your mantra for sometime now and all the masses that have been converted are now singing your praises.

Yeah, Rome is your typical tech junkie, has been for a long while. I have been listening to him since way back, 1992. Sucks that he is not on in Lubbock, TX. That's what I get for leaving Southern CA.

Okay I am from Texas, and love Texas, but out of the entire state, why on earth would you move to Lubbock of all places?

Yes but Lubbock, you should look into owning your own store in Austin, or San Antonio, or San Marcos, or New Braunfels, now see that would be bad arse. Nothing like riding the Guadalupe on hot day. I hate Dallas though, everyone in Texas that isn't from Dallas hates Dallas, its weird.

I can't stand the humidity. Besides, for what I save living in Lubbock (and for the extra I make due to no Verizon, T-Mobile, etc) I can vacation anywhere I choose. I am closer to Vegas (funny how the direct flight I take on SW if full of connecting passengers from SA, Houston, Dallas and Austin) and So Cal.
