I know this has been done a thousand times on here, but how is T-Mobile in Lubbock, compared to Sprint. Basically, I want a Blackberry, and Sprint offers one through Nextel, but I'm not sure how that works.

T-Mobile as far as I know is in constant roam in Lubbock. I'm not even sure the data stuff works all the time (though I have seen people with Sidekicks around campus).
I think you might be better off going with the Cingular Blackberries. I am still trying to decide what to get when I move to Dallas. It's between T-Mobile and Sprint. I really like Sprint's EVDO network. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

They will work in Europe with no changes except a European SIM card though, which is a plus. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

i have t-mobile. i've been happy w/ it here in lubbock. if you stay 84-I20 it works most of the way (some dead areas on 84). Any decently sized city (or one w/in 30 miles) will give me service.
my phone does say 'roaming' when i'm here, but it doesn't charge me more. ?? -------------------- Jealousy is all the fun you think they had. -Erica Jong
