Yes, sprint isn't the greatest in all areas, but I drove from VA to FL to TX and we had pretty decent service the whole time, I think we lost it a few times in the middle of nowhere MS and AK, but voice roams on Verizon, so it's decent for emergencies. But around town and in all the places I've been it works great (3G is a little pokey sometimes). If you're using 4-5+GB of data a month, it's not for you, and that's why the VZWs and ATTs exist. I rarely go over 1GB of data a month (2 phones). But there are tons of people that don't care about data roaming or speeds, they just don't want to spend $80+/phone/month.
