    Sprint's latest TV advertising campaign states
    "(we are) The most powerful network"

    What do they mean?

    Yes, the Sprint's network is
    "more powerful" now that it ever has been before.

    Yes, Sprint has the best walkie-talkie system, thanks
    to their Nextel acquisition.

    Maybe they mean their towers have a tenth
    of a watt more output power than all the other networks?

    Even if this was so, it would not give them the best coverage.

    What do they mean by "The most powerful network" ?

    Come on Sprint, give me a Hint!

    Well, in my case, I get more for my money. That is powerful enough for me.
    I just dropped Verizon and so far, Sprint works as well as Verizon did
    everywhere I have had to use it.

    My plan is relatively inexpensive, no roaming charges and the plan fits my
    needs quite well. I have had some issues with customer service but things
    have been straightened out to my satisfaction.

    I don't need data services, mp3 players and I don't give a rat's "patoot"
    what the phone looks like as long as I can make and receive calls on it.

    Re: SPRINT: "The Most Powerful Network!"

    The tagline is mostly targeted against Cingular. Sprint's EvDO data network
    is 5x faster than Cingular's EDGE. Against Verizon, Sprint can claim
    additional features.

    I agree that Sprint gives more for the money. For my Treo 700p, I'm paying
    under $50/month for 400mins and unlimited hi-speed data. Similar plan with
    Verizon would be $80/month.

    They explain it in the add.

    The largest high-speed data network, a true statement.

    The largest voice coverage area. Technically true, because of their
    roaming agreements, and because they still provide roaming AMPS coverage
    in many areas where only Verizon's longer-term customers (those on AC,
    not ACII) still get that coverage.

    The PTT functionality is not really related to the other two, since you
    can't have both PTT and the data network and better voice coverage at
    the same time as PTT.

    "Powerful" can mean whatever they want it to mean.

    It could be raw power, meaning the number of megawatts.

    And bottom-posting is worse because just about everyone who uses it seems to
    quote 50 pages of the prior thread, then put one-sentence comments they've
    made up out of thin air at the very bottom... meaning you have to scroll for
    ten minutes just to see they didn't really contribute anything at all.

    Top posting is not as bad as those that don't snip

    I tend to agree. It's more logical to top-post, FIFO, though some people
    apparently like scrolling through an enormously long post with multiple
    follow-ups. The solution is to do both.
