I seriously recommend walking into AT&T or Verizon and asking them what it would cost to switch. The biggest fee will be terminating your Sprint contract, afterwards if you learn how to manage your data you'll be fine. With 4 lines it'll cost you probably $15 less per phone per month based on what I got.
I'm not interested in supporting a company like Sprint anymore. I don't consider myself loyal to AT&T either, but Sprint has spent years ignoring the phones I want or ceasing to support them early.
Fyi, my Arrive couldn't last a day anymore. My Lumia has 50% battery left after going 16 hours without charging. That's using it regularly, with Wi-Fi on AND listening to cached radio throughout the day. I'm actually considering taking the plunge and using it as my music player more frequently if this battery life keeps up.
I'd do that (the bolded), but on top of the 4 lines that we have, we cannot afford the ETF's for cancelling, but I also get a monthly 25% discount for services, based on my employer, and while I believe I receive a discount at AT&T (not sure about Verizon), it's not close to what I receive at Sprint.
THIS! THANK YOU! This is what I've been trying to tell detractors of Windows Phone 8, they always go to the "Oh...WP8 doesn't have a lot of Apps". Which, while true, is due to the fact that they've completely re-launched and rebuilt their OS Platform.
I recognize that WP8 has some "catch-up" to play, so to speak, but MS appears to be committed, they are putting new Apps up seemingly every week.
People often forget that both iOS and Android had to start somewhere, neither launched with over 500,000 Apps available right away, they had to build to get there. They've had a 3+ year headstart.
I agree with the infancy stage, but you also have to remember a lot depends on 3rd party developers. I personally haven't researched how easy it is for developers to program for the WP8, but if it's a pain in the ass it will create problems.
I think that they'll be successful with the app store in the sense it will have all the essentials + more, but it won't reach the level of Android and Apple unless the MS platform starts catching up to either Android or Apple sales. WP8 is a great OS, but imo it's for a smaller niche. The windows platform has been out for what, a year and a half.. two years? This is anecdotal evidence but I've worked at a cellular store in Canada for the past few years, and it's never been too popular. Even now, it's only about 1/50 people getting a Windows phone.
oh...haven't seen it...but her work in the Twilight movies, as well as Snow White & The Huntsman haven't exactly been good...or even passable in my opinion...but even before hearing just now from you that she's nude in the movie, I had heard positive remarks about it

2-2.5 years now actually. As for the programming portion, from what I've seen/heard it is pretty easy to program for. The problem is that the big name apps aren't generating enough revenue to maintain a frequently supported app (aka, developer's salary) and it is too costly atm. WP8 should change that.
In fact, I've mulled over trying to make one myself for the hell of it. It's just VB scripting, I've seen the code behind some of the more popular ones because the guy at my school that writes our school's app is also a Sprint board member and Microsoft is always working with him (they are paying for a Win8 App for us) on how to better get word out about developing for WP8. He put in mini-tiles before it was even announced as a feature in WP8.
If you've ever programmed an Excel Macro, it's the same concept. VB is just a lot of syntax cues you need to learn. From there it's rather easy. Relatively of course... I'll let you know if I ever actually get to trying it.
Happy Humpday everyone. Go out and get your booze ready to make it through the rest of the week.
So much wrong in that list. SEPHY's favorite girl is at #75.
#99 and #78 are the same.
Wait hold on, I've got a different list. And the pictures don't match up.
