I would be happy with either as well.

For those in the BOS area, I won't be making the Belgian Beer Festival. My best friend wants me to hop up for NERAX North instead.

I have been with TMo for several years after ATT simply pissed me off to no end, and I must say they have steadily improved in regards to coverage. I have also used VZW and found their coverage to be tops, but they should be embarrassed at their hardware offerings and complete lack of international options until recently.

Top 5 Best Beers – from Men’s Health Magazine (based on caloric content and carbs):

1. MGD 64
2. Beck’s Premier Light
3. Michelob Ultra
4. Amstel Light
5. Miller Lite

And US is refurbishing these same 734's with new Y and new F but not dialing the pitch back up to where it should be? What's wrong with this picture?

I missed one of my 48 at qualifying, and that one was at mid-range.

The guys and gals around here practice more often, especially for night qualifying.

If those were the five choices at the bar, I would say "we need to find another bar" (although I've been known to drink number 3).

^, IMO.

People gripe about sprint customer service, but everyone in my family is very pleased.
We have many phones, my mom's account they just processed 3 upgrades at one time, all to nice phones, and moved her to a new shared data plan with more minutes, and $10 LESS monthly cost than they were paying before for just voice+sms (no data, unlimited sms comes free with data plan), the data plan now has free gps, tv, and other services, along with free SMS.

I have 2 phones, and a mobile broadband card, this was the first time I've ever had a problem with their customer services. I even have the local tower climbers mobile number for any issues with weather and the likes that affects my area(it is rather remote). The verizon landline service here sucks, the t3 backhaul goes down a lot, initially I had a problem with the internet going down when this happened(being I use data services 24/7 this is a problem), but they have configured it now so that if the t3 backhaul goes down, it goes to another region via site to site backhaul and works well, just a bit slower.

Overall I have to say they have been very responsive, and really cared for me as a customer.

Isn't EVDO on VZW not even really true 3G (more like 2.5G)? I know my VZW BB seems faster when roaming on regular 3G networks overseas.

EVDO is fully 3G.
1xRTT is NOt 3g, it is 144k 2.5g.

1xRTT is common on Sprint and VZW in rural markets.
it is still not too bad, about ISDN speeds. :)

EVDO better be 3g the GSM networks '3g' rollouts are essentially the same, with a new name :D (there is a difference in the multiplexing, signaling etc, but it is CDMA based just as 1xRTT/EVDO is.) Mackieman can probably give us more tech insight on this than anyone around.

Because they're filling the planes up with that number of seats, and don't feel like they're losing customers because of it. So as long as passengers are willing to keep buying tickets and filling those seats, they're not going to change it.

Verizon has offered very good international coverage on BB's for at least a couple of years.

I think many of us forget that many PAX simply do not travel enough to know any different nor do they know or care what equipment is operating a flight as long as it is not a prop.

INTL coverages doesn't matter much for me really, I'd rather buy a local card anyway. I don't want to pay any of the Us Companies insanity fees.

Yes, only 1X is available when traveling underground in the DC Metro, and while noticeably slower than EVDO, it still works fine.
