my new phone. what do you think?
i switched from nextel to sprint for my company phone.
i currently have the nextel i730.  i'm getting a sprint vm4500  the sprint link good idea? bad idea? i have a sprint pcs card for my computer and a cell. this way i'll be able to grab a cable and just connect my computer to my phone and have web access. not sure if the speed is the same. anybody know? that will save my company 60-70/month.

Personally, I really have never cared much for "flip phones"... but then again, I don't utilize all of the "extra services" either...
I treat my cell phone as a *gasp*... phone.

Phone looks good, though I'm pretty sure that your data transmission rate is gonna be tiny... the phone/network isnt 3G is it? if not, you will be waiting for quite a while for web pages to load.

I heard the older 1xxxx version of the 4500 had issues. The new 2xxx version should have solved them all. You can do a search at sprintusers.com to see what the issues were.
I want the 4500 also but I don't want vision in order to get the 150 rebate. My choices in Sept when I qualify is the old Nokia 3588i or the Motorola v60v since they are voice only phones.

Geez, let me know about the connection speed, too - I'm about to grap a bunch of PCS cards, but if I can get the same speed through the phone connection I'm all over that! How much did you pay for the phone? |

Our company went to Sprint also instead of Nextel. Price was better. The walkie-talkie on the sprint has a delay where the Nextel was almost instantaneous. Also, Sprint does not have very good coverage so a lot of places we couldn't get a good signal.

Err..... don't you mean "Nextel does not have very good coverage" ??? The way you describe it, Sprint is worse, and that's why you went with it. |

For us Nextel had the better coverage and Sprint is worse. Because we have a corporate discount/agreement with Sprint, we were almost forced to go through them. There was a lot more areas were we could not get a good signal with Sprint. I would have gone with Nextel.
