the evo runs on the 4g network here in chicago... i'm kinda jealous.

4G is more of a marketing term than a technology advantage.

You definitely would know. I know the iPhone is all mktg w 4g ... g meaning generation of phone not network.

Is there not much difference between Sprint 4g vs 3g or Verizon 3g vs LTE (whatever its called)?

The 3GS iPhone was a big technology jump for Apple, but it ran on the same network. The Samsung has a lot faster processor than the iPhone, so were it me, I probably would have opted for that. Like robusk says, though, the integration with iTunes and other Apple products is a big plus. And I love the All Inboxes feature on version 4.0.

While one provider may have upgraded technology in certain areas over another vendor, there are other factors to consider like coverage and oversubscription. If I am traveling across Texas by car, I want Verizon because the coverage far surpasses anyone else. And AT&T's network was/is often unable to keep up with the data demands of iPhone users (FaceTime will only exacerbate that issue). Sprint and T-Mobile's coverage may be great in some areas, but unavailable or oversubscribed in others. Of course, that may not be a problem in NYC or Chicago.

i wish there were a way to see how many negs/pos rating one has.

Don't worry murph.... you and I will probably be the last of the shtickless purpleP's. Maybe once everyone else is a hof there will be no one to thumb up but us.

it probably wouldnt matter in my case. Im pretty sure the GDers still go through and thumb me down every day. They are a persistant bunch of idiots.

Hi all birthday party was a success. A hot sweaty success.

my kid spit up on my cell phone. It still works, but I get nauseous every time I talk on it.

We probably use the term "hot sweaty success" differently.

thanks.  sticking to the carrier - do you know if there is a noticeable difference in internet speed between say sprint 3g and 4g (assuming one is operating in 4g network range)? you're the IT guy - I'm just an evil banker

One of mine once dropped my phone in the potty - after he had dropped his load in there.

i'm not sure how many thumbs i have now, but i'm trying to get better at spreading the wealth...

If they had to implement some rating bullshit, it would be nice to see how poorly rated somebody is.  It would really increase my motivation to troll.

no thumbs is the same as 1000 thumbs down, and that just isn't fair.

I have Sprint 3g where I live.  It takes about 3-6 seconds to fully load mobile facebook/espn/cnn sites

Milt was the problem.
