I did not find a voice plan to match mine. The closest family plan I saw was $110 for 700 minutes shared between four lines. I currently have 1,000 minutes for $110 shared between four lines with VZW. N&W do start at 7 with Sprint, mine start at 9. The rest of the features are similar.
So I would spend more for voice with Sprint, less for data. Overall less with my two unlimited data plans on Sprint.

You're right about the data pricing. However, that doesn't make coverage appear where it isn't. My point here (I realize it's hidden) is that I'm not disputing pricing, just your general advise that "Sprint's the best." If the coverage was as solid, WHERE I LIVE, I would consider them. The simple fact here is that it's not.

I'm happy for you that Sprint works well for you, your data plan is cheaper than mine. In my area, the 800mhz carriers have the advantage (Alltel and VZW). All the others are 1900mhz and do not do well in my area. Be happy for me that VZW works well for me and that you can revel in the fact that you pay less than I do. Happy coverage...

What I meant by choosing a provider that does less is= I am aware sprint and vzw provide worse reception than cingular in my area but I choose sprint because cingular dosen't offer Q and has a better deal than vzw.
Also if I choose roaming only. My sprint Q runs on vzw network, which isn't any better.
But most important I'm not arguing with you I'm trying to help poor vzw customers, I used to be one.
Type in sero in google it will take you to the site where I signed up for 500 min. + unl. data $30. Who can argue with that? Reception works just fine. If sprint towers are sparse in your neighborhood, just choose roaming only option(only avail. on sprint Q) and your on vzw network. Sprint also uses dual band cdma same freq. as vzw.

cingular offers the Samsung BlackJack . . . more or less the same form factor and with Windows Mobile, but not made by Motorola.



I wonder how different (and how much the same) the Q and BlackJack are to each other?

I Tried the BlackJack because I like cingular so much but I missed my Q not wanting to have a cheap imitator. It does perform well though and data was blazing fast but there is a protuding hump on the bottomside where the camera is I find horrid.
