Factors to consider:I have a Cingular contract that expires on the 20th (which is good considering Cingular is rather horrid where I live);I know that Verizon is at least a bit better here;I love the Razr - in fact, I'm rather biased towards it for some reason, but I still somewhat like the a900;I hate the fact that VZW put their half-***** UI on it / crippled OBEX, or so I read, and;The closest Sprint reference I've gotten was from someone that's 2.5 miles away, and he loves his service. I don't know how Sprint is right where I'm at, but I may be willing to try, especially with the rather encouraging eCare stories and such going on over at SU.
Curious as to which of the phones/providers you would pick and why.
 
I personally would choose Verizon and the RAZR. I also hate Verizon's half-***** UI, but the one Samsung decided to use on the A900 seems much worse. Also, Verizon's network is superior to Sprint's (Sprint's national digital network is extremely pathetic, even compared to T-Mobile). My friend has the A900, and I've played around with it. It feels flimsy (Samsung isn't exactly known for spectactular build quality), and it reboots randomly while using the phone (I think his even rebooted once during a call. And (I'm not sure if price matters to you or not), Sprint is much more expensive than Verizon. I mean, they charge $5 extra, so that you can roam!! Even on their supposedly nationwide plans.

Plus, they put false charges into the bill all the time. In fact just yesterday, I called Sprint for my uncle, because they were charging him like 16 bucks extra because he supposedly downloaded some applications. What's worse, when I asked what the apps were, the rep told me that they were for Sprint TV; even though the phone in question is 2 years old and doesn't have EVDO!!

Sorry for the rant . But yeah, IMHO, I'd stay away from Sprint like the plague. Go with VZW.
