Spotty service. I can't recall the last time that I lost a call due to a lost signal with my Samsung i700 with Verizon Wireless. I lost one call yesterday as I walked downstairs in the apartment. I lost a call a few days ago while making plans for the night over the weekend. And earlier yesterday, as I was walking out of the Lombard-South SEPTA station, the phone was roaming for several minutes. I don't recall ever roaming while using Verizon Wireless within Philly. Signal strength in general seems worse than Verizon Wireless.
And I noted earlier that I wanted an online catalog of all the songs/ringers that were available for download so that I could look things up online and then punch in a simple code to download that exact file. Well, I found out that about half of that was set up already. Sprint has a fully searchable catalog of their ringtones, games, screen savers and applications. I tried to use it to download a song to no avail.
When I 'bought' a song, I was sent a txt message. The txt said to click on a link to download the song. Well, you can't exactly click something in a fucking txt message, you idiots! So I punched it into the browser after logging onto the browser on my phone. Nadda. Well done Sprint.
And the reason I was using this method to try to download a song? I was once again locked out of doing so directly from the phone via the Music Store.
I wonder how many people who are regular Spring PCS Vision / Power Vision users are experiencing this problem. Constantly having to log into their accounts online to re-do their passwords to re-authorize their phones for the premium service of downloading media. Piss poor... Shoddy... Annoying... are words I'd use to describe the functionality of the service about 25% of the time which is pretty shitty. One quarter of the time I'm trying to use the premium stuff it doesn't work?
But I will add that the battery life is quite good.
