I mean, why would a cell phone carrier have good service in the most densely populated state in the country anyway?

Forget the TP2... get the Hero (that is, if it works on Sero)

That's strange. They have roaming agreements with verizon so I've never had an issue with coverage (mass resident here).

People just knock Sprint cus it's cool due but they did deserve it for a long time. Sprint's coverage is miles above AT&T and like you said able to roam on Verizon for the best coverage anywhere and you pay the least compared to the other two. Tmobile doesn't count cus their coverage still leaves something to be desired.

I had Sprint before and the cell coverage sucks in FL. I guess the truth hurts.
Sprint today plans to unveil a new calling plan ? ?Any Mobile, Anytime? -- that offers unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling to the USA?s 250 million cellphone users.

Hmmmmmm...... Theres only 300 million people in America, including folks who arent citizens. Are they trying to tell me that 5/6th of EVERYONE here has a cell phone? We know darn well theres a huge population of WW2 and Baby Boomers and I know they all dont have cell phones. Even the ones that could probably figure out how to use them dont necessarily own one. And I dont think too many toddlers have them, though I wont argue that an assload of grade-schoolers seem to be using them now.
Are they counting all the cell phones that have EVER been activated? Cuz most folks go through a lot but only keep one at a time.

According the govt., there are approximately 250 million actual Americans. Plus 50 million visitors of various sorts.
Thats still only 300 million.

I have a legitimate reason for hating the guts out of Sprint. I was opening a store in Hillsboro, TX, and wanted to have a single mobile number for everything, rather than having a land line + mobile line / forwarding. I went to the closest Sprint store in Waco (same area code, very close by, less than 20 minutes away) .. and asked SPECIFICALLY if I could get a local number for Hillsboro. They said yes, no problem, so I signed up for a new line (I was already a Sprint customer, having had a Dallas line for several years). So now that I had the number, I could file it with the local SBC Yellow pages for my ad, run newspaper ads, get fliers/business cards made, get my signage made, and so on. I do all of this, and also get the final construction modifications to the building, which takes about a month in total. Then I find out when I move out there, that the number they personally guaranteed would be LOCAL to Hillsboro was in fact a number ONLY local to Waco, and was long distance for anyone in Hillsboro.
I think okay, well that sucks, but at least they can cancel this number so I can just get a landline + forwarding to my existing cell right? So I call, and they tell me, sorry sir it's been 33 days since you got the account, you have to pay a $200 (might have been $300, can't remember now) fee to disconnect, plus the charge for the phone unless it's still in a sealed box. I was like WTF, 1st off the guy at the store took the phone out of the package to make sure it connected to the network, second I was promised a local line, third I've never even used the damned phone, 4th I've been a loyal Sprint customer for years. I spent days bouncing back from one asshole to the next at Sprint, and never ONCE was anyone either courteous or helpful. They were assholes from top to bottom. Fuck them, I hope they burn, and I've turned dozens of people towards better service. I now have MetroPCS, unlimited calls/txt/data for $35/mo, with an unlocked phone of my choosing.
EDIT : My $35/mo unlimited hookup is exactly half the price of those assholes at Sprint. Yay.

Saw that! I'm thinking of switching... Palm Pre here I come?!?!?!! Of course that won't happen until January when my contract with AT&T ends. BTW, here's a tip, if you had the plan to your cart then click on "remove all plans" or whatever from your basket, they will give you an additional $50 credit to your month invoice.
