FINALLY!

Thank God that they have left Nextel in the dust! Now, Sprint will be able to compete with the other big 3 carriers because Nextel was really holding them back in my opinion, because they were not even doing well. They were, in my eyes, sub-par, and Nextel's service stunk because it includes no cool extras or features, they have PTT, yes, but so does Sprint. In my opinion, of course, Sprint is going to do much better, and I think I might just buy some stock when Sprint Speed launches. Nextel is all-around awful. They brought nothing to the table as far as wireless carriers go and I say, Good Riddance! I think that it is time for Sprint to work their way up and join the race between T-Mobile, Cingular, and Verizon, turn it into a four position race by adding Sprint Speed to the line-up. SPRINT AHEAD! (Not catchy now, but it will be if they reach the top)

SPRINTSPEED!

(It's an R, not an A)

Sprint, after denouncing it's partnership with Nextel, is creating a new idea, and a new marketing technique, one that will make me happy to see. Sprint is going to catch up with the other major carriers, and I think that it will even bypass them, or Sprint ahead, as their new ad campaign states. Oh, and look at this: Sprint makes it possible to watch a full length movie on your phone, how amazing is that? They are also #1 in music downloads, and have the largest and fastest PTT network with SprintSpeed. Perhaps the entire company will recieve a makeover!

As Nextel is left behind by Sprint, we realize that Nextel has not been left behind just by Sprint, but also by many customers. The customers left for AT&T (I mean Cingular. Wait, never mind - its back to AT&T again...) and other cellular carriers that have PTT, if that is why they had Nextel. While T-Mobile may not have the PTT feature, it still has great Customer Service, along with some of the best phones, so again, I highly recommend it. Nextel is not gone, but Sprint has decided not to acknowledge it / has removed their name from Sprint signs etc. This is only the latest story on cellular companies merging, parting and changing names etc...Nextel is no longer 'TOGETHER WITH SPRINT', as the advertisement states above.

Please add on, I have had little time to write this.

Thanks,

Jack

iPhone: Most wanted

2007-06-27T07:49:00.000-07:00

The iPhone, is as we all could have guessed, the most wanted phone (currently). As we await it's arrival on the June 29th release date, the news is starting to build up. The iPhone is, in my opinion, not worth it. Considering the fact that it is (in my opinion) just a flashy gadget, easily broken, and the iPod features will not be accessible until it is activated with an AT&T contract, we really do not think it is worth the $500 (with a two year contract) that it costs. I am definitely glad that Apple is doing well, it is actually the only company that I will buy a computer, music, and iPod/mp3 player from, but I think that I will just have to skip this.

T-Mobile may not have the best cell service, but it is not worth $200 to break the contract, just to get a little better service. Oh, and I think I will stick it out until the Pearl 2 comes out.

Macbook Pro

2007-06-26T18:29:00.000-07:00

As the days go by, I am waiting for my new macbook pro. I will either have it on the 29/30th, or around the 14th. Either way, I will review it later. I can't wait to get the 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, I am drooling over it after I have spent the last 4 years with one of the 14" iBook G4's 1.07 GHz PowerPC G4 Processor. The iBook is for sale until the 29th on E-Bay, right Here. The MacBook Pro has many upgraded features, WA-A-A-AY upgraded from the iBook, so I will start at the June 4th 2007 update. The MacBook Pro has an upgraded chip set (The Santa Rosa Platform), an L.E.D. Backlight, upgraded graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT), Upgraded airport (802.11n), and additional Hi-Res Glossy/Hi-Res Antiglare Screen options. I will post a review on a Booq Bag Folee XS case later, around the 14th of June.

In rather recent news, Blackberry is coming out with the Pearl 2, or 8120, and will be available in early / mid September. It will include the features in the 8100, but also include many more!

The new Pearl will include the following features, the phone should be available at Sprint, definitely at T-Mobile, maybe with the basic colors only though, and will be available at AT&T, hopefully with all colors.
