I really, really, hope that is not the case, as I am carrier-locked to Verizon because I live in the middle of nowhere. But it wouldn't suprise me coming from them.]]>Sep 10th 2008 11:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Just get a femtocell device for your home.

Sprint is probably the 2nd best choice to VZW, their coverage is pretty decent, but you would still run into some no service spots on a daily basis.

AT&T Works okay....on the west side of town. north and east sides, as well as north and east for about 20 miles...nadda. No GSM signals there at all.

T-Mobile.....their nearest coverage area is a 60 minute drive away.

So 90% of the people around here have VZW. Some famers living west of town use AT&T, because Verizon reception is pretty bad out that way, but there are 2 AT&T towers out there that cover it pretty good. They just deal with no service if they have to go to Wal-Mart.

On the plus side, you don't have to worry much about anytime minutes, as pretty much everybody is part of the unlimited mobile to mobile. And Verizon just upgraded our tower to EV-DO, because when 90%+ of a 14k population is using your service, I guess it looks good on paper to them.]]>Sep 17th 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 11th 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/
As a current Sprint Touch owner I whole heartedly agree with you on the qwerty keyboard. I love my phone, hate the on screen keyboard. Why have the bigger screen of the HD when you have to end up covering half of it anytime you need to start typing. I only traded from the Mogul to the Touch for two reasons, one was double the ram and the other was the size. If at that time they made the old Touch in the same width and height but deeper with a slideout qwerty I would have bought that. The only thing I do prefer about typing on the Touch's screen versus the full qwerty phones and the iPhone is that you can type one handed, but most of the time I'd use two hands unless it was quick short text messages.]]>Sep 11th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/

Since I've dealt with AT&T wireless, Cingular, and The "New" AT&T for 6 years, a change in scenery would be nice.]]>Sep 10th 2008 11:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/
Take a step outside of your special world and realize that for other people, they might have a different experience. Take me for example, I have excellent Sprint service in my area while AT&T sucks balls and if it wasn't for the fact that I get my Sprint service for free, I would not be carrying my iPhone through AT&T (most likely the 2G version unlocked on T-Mobile).]]>Sep 11th 2008 1:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/

Somebody, please tell HTC that they're making a mistake in changing the look of these once good-looking phones.]]>Sep 10th 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 10:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/
Nope, I guess you're on your own. HTC's U.S. phone number is in the link below. Good luck.

anyone (including myself) buying this phone is doing it because it has a big keyboard that they feel makes up for its thickness with usability... and to someone else who posted, this version looks more appealing than the euro pro (IMO), the shiny chrome looks sexy! not to mention its gray, its everything my mogul dreamed it would to be when it growed up ]]>Sep 10th 2008 11:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 11th 2008 7:07AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 11th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 11th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/Sep 10th 2008 11:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/hands-on-with-sprints-touch-pro/
