    Keeping your number with Google Voice after cancelling line

    The number you use for GV was originally your Sprint number. When you integrated with GV, it became the number for that as well. You need to cancel the integration, and then port your number from Sprint to GV. It would the same situation if you ported your number from Sprint to VZW. You have...

    Google Voice + Sprint, as of late?

    The one thing I don't like is how the text messaging will start over after a period of time, even though the recipient is the same. If I text my wife, a thread is started. If I stop and send her something else a hour later, it begins a new thread, instead of simply continuing on with the...

    Google Voice + Sprint, as of late?

    I use it because I carry two phones (one for work, one personal). My personal number is also my GV number, and I have it set to forward my calls to one phone. This way, I receive my work calls on my work phone like normal, and calls to my personal phone go through GV and I receive them on my...

    Cases/Covers

    I had a folio case, but never liked opening and closing the flap. It also left lines across the screen from where the inside of the flap rubbed against the glass. Nothing permanent, but annoying. I switched to the Otterbox case and got the utility latch as well. I love it. The otterbox adds...

    Ever got Sprint to replace Phone outside the 30 days?

    I had that happen with a Palm Treo (going way back here...) which continuously had issues. I think I went through 4 replacements, until I finally said enough is enough. I told them I was unhappy with the device, I wanted it replaced. They gave me the option of several other devices, which...

    Why The iPhone 4S Failed To Excite

    Yeah, Apple does have a cult like following. However, the difference with Android users is they do not have to stick with one manufacturer. People switch from the Nexus, to the Droid, to the Evo, to the Bionic, to the GSII, to the whatever comes next. With Apple, it is all the same device...

    Why The iPhone 4S Failed To Excite

    You also are forgetting the fact that Apple has a single device, the iPhone, to support. Yes, there are several versions (3G, 4, 4S) but they are still the same device. Samsung, HTC, and everyone else has not only multiple OS', but multiple devices to warranty, to provide support. Apple made...

    MPeg 4 vs H.264

    Haven't tried H.264 yet. I use mpeg4 for everything I rip, because I can use the same files on my phone as well as on my Xoom.

    Still unlimited, for now

    I am sure that Sprint would love to use that as their new company slogan. :)

    Google Talk Video

    I agree. So far, Google Talk Video has worked very well for me. I have never used video calling much, simply because the programs available never worked well (Tango, Qik, etc.). Hopefully this will continue to be a usable product. If so, I can definitely see myself doing this more often...

    Makes you wonder what people who answer the phones for customer service think when they themselves have to call CS...

    Got my Xoom back

    I don't think free apps show up on your account. Try loading them from the market webpage on a computer. You may find some of them there. I have had this issue when switching devices. The paid apps appear in "my apps" and a lot of the free ones have disappeared, and I have to remember what...

    Engadget Confirms Lapdock

    I can understand a higher cost, since it is designed to act as a replacement for a laptop, but it is not a true replacement. I love my Photon, but I could get a laptop for the same price, which will obviously surpass the capabilities of my phone. I think that the laptop dock would be...

    Still unlimited, for now

    I have had some CS problems as well. I was having service issues a few months ago, and talking to the first CS person, they recommended I bring in my devices to a store to have them checked out... All of them. So, if I understand this, I have 3 phones, a tablet, and a laptop, that are all...

    Still unlimited, for now

    I've been with Sprint for over 11 years, and I have always had good customer service. Everyone has different experiences with providers. Personally, I have always been treated fairly by Sprint. Throw in good pricing and unlimited data, and I am a satisfied customer. Don't get me wrong, if...
