Sprint Nextel  — 

Originally I had Verizon but when my dad's work phone was switched to Nextel he loved the company so much that he switched our phones too. Now these phones aren't exactly the most fashionable but at this point I'm not concerned about it at all. I'm very clumsy and I treat my phone like a crash test dummie..maybe even worst but despite falling into a river, being crushed in a door panel, falling from the the third story balcony of an apartment and falling in my chicken soup it still works. These phones are built to last, no question about that.

As for the service, it's not bad. It's not that best that's for sure but I do love that in the middle of the Mojave desert when all my friends' fancy blackberrys and iPhones had no service mine was texting, calling and surfing the web just fine. The walkie-talkie feature is love. I hate talking on the phone for a minute just to find out a yes or no answer and the solution to that is the walkie talkie. My brother and I use it daily and it saves money because we don't waist out talk minutes.

The texting is the one thing that I really don't like about our service. It's so slow to open a message and it regularly mixes signals and messages. Other than that. it's worth it.

Very nice review... thanks for sharing. And welcome to Viewpoints!

BTW, I work for Sprint Nextel and have a Nextel phone on my hip as I type this. Your review seems quite fair to me.

Yeah. I like it my phone isn't quite as fancy as a Blackberry but I'm horrible when it comes to taking care of phones so it works or me.

I've been with Sprint about 9 years and your 4 stars are about spot on. They've been more than adequate, so no reason to change! I currently use a Blackberry Pearl with them and have had no problems.
