Verizon 450 min, unlimited text, 2gb data - $89.99
Sprint 450 min, unlimited text, unlimited data - $79.99
$10 difference but so far in So Cal, Sprint's 3G is a crawl. Normal speeds I get are around 0.10 mpbs and 4G is spotty at best. People I know on Verizon get 1 mbps on 3G almost all the time.
For comparison, I canceled my Sprint and went on Tmobile's $50 month to month until the Nexus Prime comes out. I get 100mb of 4G internet. Im stuck on 2G right now and speed test shows my speed cap at 0.20 mbps... Faster than what I usually get on Sprint's 3G.....
As I said... for myself, but I guess that was missed. You said I don't know why anyone picks Sprint. I told you why I did. I have a 3 phone family plan... on Sprint (before 23% discount) it is $169 where as for Verizon (before 20% discount) it would cost me $219 if I only went with 2GB, where as at least mine probably would need 5. And I get .8mbps myself, so it differs for everyone. I get why your don't but that wasn't you question/statement.
Also, phone costs. Best Android phone out there right now is the S2 speed and screen wise and it costs $199 for Sprint yet the Charge with lower specs costs $299 for Verizon?
I completely get why you don't want Sprint and that is cool, but you make mass assumptions that your situation applies to everyone, it doesn't.
Anyways on topic... I want some Nexus news! I am dying here waiting a few weeks instead of buying the epic touch now. The latest "leak" for the Nexus is just a load of bullcrap from an anonymous person. I would love for something more concrete to come along.
