I currently have Verizon Wireless, no real qualms to speak of minus the usual quibbles anyone has with their cell service provider. I have a "dumb" phone (LG Versa) and it has been great; however I wish the Internet browser was a little better, had a full QWERTY keyboard and calendar/to-do list that synced with my Google Calendar. I am paying around $65-70/month on my share of my brother's group plan depending on my e-mail and Internet usage.
The prepaid company Boost Mobile recently released a CDMA version of the Blackberry Curve 8330 with unlimited everything (minutes, texting, Internet, e-mail, GPS, etc) for $60.
From a pure economics point of view the choice is simple: Blackberry with Everything for one predictable monthly cost versus my dumb phone that I am pushing to its limits (in terms of Internet, calendar, and e-mail usage) for $65-70.
Opinions? Anyone have any experience with Sprint (Boost is a subsidiary of Sprint) or Boost Mobile? I am on the fence and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
