Sprint PCS Sucks

I’ve had the final straw with Sprint PCS and my piece of crap phone. After running into Russ in the Y! cafeteria last time I was up north, my candidate set narrowed down to the Sidekick and the Treo 650.

Any recommendations or experiences with either? (Or deals that you know of!) I’m leaning a little towards the Sidekick at this point because I already use T-Mobile’s hotspot service to work at Starbucks, etc. and I’ve heard you can get a bundle deal that’s cheapter At the same time, having a palm integrated with my phone is a pretty sweet notion as well.

    Treo is better. More functional, more nerdy, more useful.

    But, Sidekick is cooler.

    I just saw this:

    Free RAZR, not bad. I’m trying to decide if this is enough to make me switch.

    That’s a good deal on a cool phone. Our sprint plan expired in July and we’ve been thinking of switching. But to who we aren’t sure. We didn’t have very good luck with Cingular when we had it two years ago in Pasadena. But they’ve made some aquisitions/mergers since then.

    Anybody know if Cingular service has improved? Of course, we’re in D.C. Metro so who knows. Damn cool phone though.

    Before buying a Treo 650 (especially if you plan to sync it with your Mac) you might want to read this:

    Over Labor Day weekend, I switched from Sprint PCS to T-Mobile. I got the Blackberry 7100t for myself and for my husband. $200 each (there’s a $100 mail in rebate right now).

    For 2 lines w/blackberry service, I’m paying $179 a month ($129 a month + $40 in Blackberry service fees + $10 in Enterprise Blackbery service for work email) and get 2500 anytime minutes with free long distance.

    Seems to get pretty good coverage in Pasadena and Los Angeles so far…

    All in all, I’m happy with my Treo 650. It’s not perfect, but I love having the Internet in my pocket (is that the Internet in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?). Like a true geek, I don’t talk on the phone much but I use a lot of data.

    I vote for the Treo 650. An informative site is www.TreoCentral.com. I have no problems syncing with my Mac.
