AT&T Blackberry Curve or Sprint Blackberry 8830????

Hi everyone. I'm currently a Verizon customer but hate their current phones and how expensive their packages are. I'm thinking of switching to either AT&T or Sprint....with either the Blackberry Curve or the Blackberry 8830. Any thoughts or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. I do like the curve a little better, but Sprint is cheaper with their plans. I currently have the Treo 700w and cannot wait to get rid of it!!!
Thanks in advance!

Ok, Totally confused now (BlackJack II for free??)

Ok, as mentioned in a previous post, Im currently verizon and looking to come over to AT&T and have been looking for the best deal possible on a good phone.

Now I'm noticing at walmart I can get the BlackJack 2 for free???

http://walmart.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId ... »

What is the disadvantage of getting my phone through walmart? Most likely I am going to get the iphone soon (or wait for the iphone 2) before contract is up anyways..?

Can someone explain how this stuff works? Why would I ever pay $200 at an AT&T store rather than $0-50 at Walmart for the same phone?? What am I missing??

Thanks

New AT&T Customer, need help please

I am going to buy the blackberry curve or pearl as a new customer probably in the next day or so.

Then I will buy an iphone, hook that up and sell my blackberry on ebay to make a few bucks.

At this point, is my blackberry locked? unlocked? Do I have to remove my SIM card??

I am currently a Verizon customer and am not familiar with the whole SIM card and locked/unlocked phones.

Help would be appreciated.

3G In North Carolina (Fayetteville & Costal NC)

Does any one have an "official" information on when The Fayetteville & Costal areas of NC are expected to get 3G coverage? Raleigh/Durham has had it for a long while now. Does at&t have possibly have an "anticipated 3G" rollout map or something? It just funny to see posts about verison trialing 4G services and I have a 3G phone and can't even use that function on it yet lol. Thanks for your help!

proof that consumer reports is wrong... er, they suck!

so i saw another post that got me thinking... if consumer reports puts out a magazine with the opinions of 46000 people, let's see what google has to say about it...
(you can try this at home...)

go to google.com and type in "carrier sucks" you can also try it without " in the search... here are the results...

Results 1 - 10 of about 56,600 for "sprint sucks".
Results 1 - 10 of about 17,000 for "verizon sucks".
Results 1 - 10 of about 15,400 for "at&t sucks".
Results 1 - 10 of about 6,890 for "t-mobile sucks".
Results 1 - 10 of about 2,780 for "alltel sucks".

clearly, sprint sucks the most, then verizon... alltel sucks the least and at&t sucks right in the middle...

now we try th...

iPhone

I'm thinking about getting an iPhone. However...I have a couple questions about what I should do.

Is it really worth getting 1st of all? Secondly, if I get an "unlocked" version...how to activate? I know I can just throw in my sim card..but how will I activate the iPhone data plan, etc? Will all the features work correctly (i.e. visual voicemail, etc.)?

Thanks

Okay, y'all!

I have a Treo 750. I've used 700wx's on both Verizon and Sprint. The speed on the 750 is phenomenal, while the WX's that I had froze. At&t's speed is sufficient, so why do people hate on GSM phones. ๐Ÿคจ

Would text messaging with at&t be faster than over Nextel's network.

AT&T Pricing

Hi All,

I am a Sprint customer today but am trying AT&T for the 30 day trail. My question has to do with plan pricing. To get the same or close to the same plan I have with Sprnt will cost about $70.00 a month more with AT&T. Worth Sprint I full data speeds in my home but with AT&T I can only get Edge coverage. Other than that, I like what I seen so far. Is there anyway to get a special rate for switching to get my monthly plan cost down? If I could I would be must more willing to make the move.

thanks

I AM THE ULTIMATE I-PHONE HATER

Yep...

Me, that's who & I have valid reason.

As an Authorized Dealer of At&t, one of only a handful left, I am not able to Sell the I-Phone so I consistantly have people asking me all damn day about a product I don't carry, and after months of it being available I'm glad I don't.

This I-Phone Madness has got to stop! I have only been in the Industy for a year now and it didn't take long for me to figure out that Nokia and Sony have the Best Product out there, as far as features and performance.

The I-Phone was and still is a Hustle, it is not what it is cracked up to be when it comes to a mobile phone you can use all over the world.

Reasons, reasons, reasons...I'm not going there...I just want to make it clear, that there is ...

Legacy Dobson

So are any of you AT&T reps getting any of our Dobson Legacy customers? As an employee in a call center what good benefits do you guys get? Discount on your phone lines? Anything good? Yearly bonus?

Glad we got merged by you guys. I love AT&T and have had the service for 4-5 years. I'm excited to finally maybe get a discount on my lines. Plus maybe a chance to advance in the company.

I love Star Wars so I call the blue earth AT&T symbol the Death Star affectionaly. I def need some blue AT&T stickers.

Add A Phone

I already have a family plan with two phones. Is there any chance I can add a phone to my account without buying a new phone? I mean, can I get another line (new SIM) without a phone and more importantly without a contract (or at least a reduced timeline of a contract).

I have working phones and would like to not add more lines half way through my current contract making the different lines on my plan have different contract ending dates.

#@$%! incompetent reps

I hate it when I get an incompetent rep! (My apologies to those who aren't.)

First I get scr3wed when some customer (don't)care rep handles a relocation on a family plan (2 lines) and does one line as a relo and the second line as an 'upgrade'. I saw nothing on my first bill after the relo to indicate that I'd been 'upgraded' and imagine my surprise when I'm out of contract and I go to an authorized retailer to buy two new phones and I'm told I can only upgrade on of them.

After several calls to customer (don't)care, I'm told that my account has been noted and that all I have to do is visit a corporate store and they can override the system and that they'd put notes to that effect on my account.

I go 20 mi out of my way to a corp ...
