I am looking to get a new contract with one of these companies. The reason it is between those 2 is because of the upcoming google's Android mobileOS, and T-Mobile and Sprint is in a group with google to basically guarantee that they will release the android platform on their network. I am leaning towards T-Mobile at the moment because Tmobile has basically said that they will be supporting the HTC Dream, the supposed first android phone being released later this year. But say Sprint picks it up also, which one would you guys recommend? I've heard good and bad from both companies in different areas, and I just want to see your guy's view on my issue. I live in Missouri if that helps at all with coverage knowledge.

T-Mobile and Sprint PCS are practically the exact same type of company. They both are small companies that only cover major highways and interstates with their own service. T-Mobile relies on AT&T Mobility for roaming coverage while Sprint PCS relies on Verizon Wireless for roaming coverage. Sprint PCS will provide better call quality but hopefully you never have to call their customer service department. T-Mobile has been rated to have the best customer service department for several years (right after Verizon’s). Sprint has been rated to have the worst customer service in any industry. I recommend Sprint for better call quality and more coverage while I recommend T-Mobile for better customer service.
***Verizon Wireless is also expected to be the first wireless carrier to support the Google Android Service.

Well….T-Mobile’s Got better Service and The Sidekick, while Sprint’s got the Instinct. The Instinct is awsome, But so is the Sidekick. Verizon’s the best. Best Phones and Best Service.

the question that i would ask; if i was in ur shoes,is. how much 3g coverage does each company have in your area? the company that has the most 3g coverage is the way to go. that companies phone will be capable of doing more w/ what the phone has to offer, don’t u think.

Sprint-
Pros:
It has a kinda cool logo and name
Cons:
Bad Phones
Bad Signal (which means more roaming which means more money)
very very very bad emphasis on the very bad costumer service. They don’t handle your problems in any way and if you call them a certain number of times they automatically cancel your contract.
Everything about this network is bad… verry bad… if you go in there just asking questions for plans they wanna force you into buying something right away.
T-Mobile
Pros:
Nice phones
Great Costumer service
GSM service provider
Awesome Plans
Cheaper Features
etc, etc, etc
Cons:
The only con that i can really think of is that they don’t have that strong of a signal as CDMA providers like metro PCS and Verizon. That being said they have decent signal/coverage. Don’t expect to get 4 bars in a place that isn’t New York or a big metropolitan city
god bless
hope i helped (:
*****EDIT*****
For those of you that are stating that T-Mobile is a small service provider that only gives service on major cities and highways that is a lie. They may give a hell of a lot of a stronger signal there, but you can get a T-Mobile signal anywhere unlike sprint which literally make you want to sprint away from them.
once again god bless and hope i helped

Tmobile has good service, cool phones, but has a lot of dead zones. (As a friend of mine says) Sprint is okay of course I don’t really know because I don’t have it but I’ve heard its good. I prefer tmobile.
