In yet another related storey. Judge orders chalk manufacturers to pay millions for street cleaning, inhalation medical bills, PTSD restitutuion due to bulletin board "chalk squeek", excess bandwidth usage fees, and other costs associated with chalk.
Can't we just be happy that most kids just "vandalize" and "loiter" urban environments with their skateboards and inline skates, while using crude forms of shortened speach instead of writing or making artistic statments.
Go play in the road. That's the place for you.
I'm stoked as hell about 3G, but I really wish it was someone else offering it. I see nothing but trashing of sprint here and agree with it all. They have some of the worst quality of service records and some of the worst support records of any company.
Here's an unebelished true story about their service. Even if it was embelished a little it's so bad I think it's more than bad enough to warrant running from them. I got so many dropped calls one month that I had nearly a 1 to 1 dropped call ratio. I was getting so many improper connections that many times I would be charged for 3 one minute calls to the same number within the same minute. Other times there would be 6 or seven calls to the same number in a row.
When I called sprint about this they a) charged me $3 for calling them, and b) then promptly disconnected me before I could talk to anyone. When I called back they charged me another $3 told me I'd have to wait untill I recieved my bill to contest the last $3 service fee and told me I could not contest any of the calls on my current bill because it was to late. To contest any future dropped calls I could call their automated phone system and get 1 minute deducted from my bill, but ony one minute per call. Yeah, I'm suppose to call them 300-400 times a month. Get Real!
So I called back when I recieved my bill this month and asked them to remove that $3 servvice charge for which I was disconnected and they did, but they charged me $3 more for having called them again, saying no matter wether it was their error I still had to pay the service fee. They Suck.:)
Moral of the storey. Run Forest. Run.
I recommend AT&T. I wish I hadn't left them for the allure of Sprints digital data for use with laptop setup. Very fewdropped calls and excellent customer service.
