Nothing in Cyd's post (or past posts on this topic, for that matter) indicates that he's at all the type to ever shell out big bucks on a contracted smartphone, so I'm not sure how this whole paragraph of yours is at all relevant to his question, which was, since you ignored it, "how is Sprint for voice calls these days?". > I merely threw out a cell phone recommendation trying to insert a > modicum of content here.

Like any carrier, it depends on where you use 'em. The last I had Sprint, they royally sucked in my home neighborhood, though they were good at work. This was an entire network topology ago, though, so who knows if that's still valid. -- smr
