The poll results are at a tie between Sprint and Verizon.

For the people who think verizon has better network and signal, im here to tell you, Verizon pays Sprint to "Use SPRINT networks."  Yes verizon uses the sprint network for their phones.

Verizon do has cool phones I admit. But Sprint has the Instinct.

Check out the new, 4G Samsung Instinct. Only on the now network, Sprint.

I like Sprint and they have always done pretty good.

In 5 years I've dropped maybe 2 calls on Verizon. 

I don't add any applications and I don't use it for email.

If you have a phone that works in a foreign market you're going to pay a ton for worldwide coverage anyway.  It's cheaper to just rent a foreign phone where ever you're going.

They might be a little more expensive but Janessa has had her plan for 8 years and I've been on it for 5.  During that time we've had 0 customer service issues and only a couple of dropped calls.  I can't think of a single person that's gone that long without complaining about their provider.

If you have a phone that works in a foreign market you're going to pay a ton for worldwide coverage anyway.  It's cheaper to just rent a foreign phone where ever you're going.

The advantage of a GSM world phone is if you have it unlocked (meaning it will accept any carrier's sim card) you can use your own phone and just pop in a new sim card.  This can be even cheaper than renting a foreign phone is the way  I understand it. 

But like I said before, I work for Sprint so my opinion is biased towards CDMA even though those handsets are locked.  And when comparing Verizon to Sprint, what Cardnial185 said is correct.  Verizon buys a considerable amount of fiber bandwith from Sprint.  I know this because I work in wireline billing and they are one of our largest customers. 

If any of you decide you want to switch to Sprint check this site out: http://www.sprint.com/sero You need an employee's email to access it (bradley.x.robertson@sprint.com) and it gives you discounts you can't find anywhere else.  These are the cheapest Sprint rates available to non-family members.

EDIT: Just to clarify the first post the Instinct is not 4G.  There is no such thing yet.  You could maybe call it 3.5G since it is EVDO Rev A, but the 4G designation on Sprint is reserved for phones with ZOHM (wi-max) capabilities.

I like my Sprint phone just great. Only 1 dropped call in 3 years and that was in western Kansas.

Can you hear me now?  Good.  

Brought to you by.. Verizon, using Sprint networks over and over.

Do something related to Mayhem since that is our next big "thing" around here

I checked the calendar and since Coaster Craze was up next I went with a basic poll.

My creative juices aren't flowing. 

I was going to come up with possible names for the new ride at WoF but I figured that I would just be throwing darts.

 


NEW POLL: Are you going to Coaster MAYHEM?


 

Good call and Robby and nice use of another rarely seen smilie.

The new poll is open.

Well the only other ones I use everyday are Screamscape and Worldsoffun.com and niether have forums so I would have to agree. I visit some other but none on a daily basis.

New poll:

Do you like the new WoF coaster name Prowler?

or

Where do you think the entrance to the new WoF woodie be?

or

Which DEWmocracy Mountain Dew, do you like?

Revolution
Voltage
or Supernova

People really seem to dig the Prowler name and logo.  It won over the non-dig vote 84.6 to 15.4

There's a new poll on the home page.

I am neutral until I Ride It! I want to love this ride, I really do, but I am not going to turn until the usual Coaster Enthusiass and criticize it before it is built. I am sure it will be fun. I Love Worlds Of Fun and I Love Great Coasters International, so I will Love this ride.

P.S the hotel I stayed at this weekend still said Orient Express is still a ride at WOF in their little info guide (on the area) in the room. Thats right I notified the front desk.

I feel that way also Ben, but as a nerd it is my duty. HaHa! My wife is there usually to remind me of that as well, but with her dad in the hospital most of the summer she was not with me on this trip.
