I just started a family with my bro and sister with T-Mobile. Grabbed an Nokia E-71 smart phone with it, and its great. No bs data plans like AT&T, who was my previous provider. I did like them though. My phone has wifi and built navi, just dl the maps.

in college i worked for both sprint and cingular/att. they were two different companies and this was before the technology is what it is today. i sold the first generation camera phone with sprint. sprint used to be top notch with the phones and plans they offered but the network and technology was never up to snuff, especially up here in the northeast. up here verizon is number 1 but since cingular bought att then att bought cingular/att back, they've really caught up networkwise. they are just being retarded with the iphone crap. i.e., expensive data plan without texting and no SMS. the iphone is awesome and i heard the palm kreo is pretty good too which brings me to my advice: stay with sprint and get a palm kreo. you won't be happy with verizon so you're next choice is att. forget the others.

btw hope all is going well in the evo department, marc

Radiator brackets, Hood Latch Assembly, All Misc. brackets on valve cover, and vacuum hard line that bolts to the valve cover. Other parts I've blasted include LICP's, HKS Intake, BOV, MAF Adapter plate for intake.

i am very happy with my iphone but if he were to stay with the same network then the palm would be the way to go. nothing does compare with the iphone. i was using this morning for some info my wife wanted and got a "how-to video." it's like the future is here.

Depending on what intake adapter you have, you may want to port it..I always port the vibrant ones as they have casting (flash) on the edges.. Can't wait to see what she looks like when you are done.. MAke sure to roll out to the shootout with us this year.. I will start a thread soon for a caravan..

I know it sounds common sense but what's an intake adapter? I have a stock I.M. and the only thing between the throttle body and I.M. is the gasket. It's a Mil.spec TB if that helps.

good info everyone. my wife takes care of the bills, since she is home all day, and she loves the service from sprint. very rarely do calls get dropped and the bill is reasonable @ $99/mo for both phones with unlimited text & voice. they have been pretty good to us. we used to have cingular and they sucked! guess I'll look into the kreo...
