boinky 0 #1 May 1, 2008 Recently, I had an opportunity to play with an I-Pod Touch, which eventually prompted me to go and play with an I-Phone. I fell in love. I currently have Sprint as a service provider, and am locked into them until November. Last week, I got their new HTC Touch, but am not happy with it at all. I am not necessarily unhappy with my Sprint service, so I'm not all about switching to AT&T. I have heard that Sprint will be introducing a new phone in mid-June, called the "Instinct," which is supposed to be more 'I-phone'ish.' I am hoping that some of you technical folks would take the time to browse through the information about the two phones and give me some insight/opinions before I take the Touch back and wait for the Instinct to arrive on the market. Please? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sickandtwisted 0 #3 May 1, 2008 I could not compare the two without having them in front of me. The people that I know that have an I-Phone absolutly love them. Get an I-Phone when you can switch.Skymama stalker #69!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #7 May 1, 2008 My brother loves his iPhone, you will not be disappointed. I'd love to have one but my blackberry is more than sufficient. Where you been, girl?

boinky 0 #10 May 1, 2008 Quote It's all my fault for lettering her play with my Ipod Touch and dragging her kicking and screaming into the world of data plans... Pfff......you wish. *rolls eyes* I was the one with internet, picture mail and other various "newfangled" things on my phone. YOU,[/B] on the other hand, had a boring old phone that wouldn't do anything but call folks. I think you followed me on this technology concept. Besides, I wanted an I-phone before you brought that stupid I-pod touch home and taunted me with it. YOU were the one who insisted on trying to talk me out of one!

boinky 0 #12 May 1, 2008 No, but the "Instinct" might open it, though. If you loved me enough, you could always add me to YOUR AT&T plan! And the only thing I want to tilt is my body position when you're home. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Gawain 0 #14 May 1, 2008 I'm not a big fan of GSM, but AT&T's network is hands-down superior to Sprint's in terms of coverage. I'd wait for the 3G iPhone.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

BillyVance 34 #22 May 2, 2008 Quote And as long as I get internet and phone calls...do I care which system I have? It depends on the coverage in your area. One company may have very weak or no coverage while another will have adequate to excellent coverage. You can research each company online. Most of them have a coverage map page so you can see if you're covered or not."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
