Sprint in Queens NY, any good?

I have been a t-mobile customer for the past 4 years because I could travel to
Asia and use a local sim card in the phone.

Now that I can keep my number I want to drop t-mobile here in the USA.
How is the quality of service Sprint in NYC and more specifically in south
Queens.

Can't really talk about specific localities, but I brought a friend
of mine into Sprint about a year and a half ago, and he's been extremely
satisfied with the service. He's located in the Union Turnpike/Utopia
Parkway area, but he travels all over the borough for work.

PS: He has my old Sanyo 4700, which is an excellent phone. His wife has my
old Sanyo 4000, which is 2G only. I don't think she uses it much, and so I
can't say what her experience is. But as I say, he's expressed his
satisfaction to me many times, even bragging that he was able to get signal
when his sister-in-law (at&t) couldn't.

I'm in west Queens, Maspeth and Middle Village area and I have no problems
with Sprint. I have a Sanyo 8100 now but when I had my Samsung N400 I didn't
have any problems either. A friend on mine lives in Staret City in Brooklyn
and he has problems getting a signal but as soon as he leaves that area he
has no problems at all. I hope this helps you out a little bit. I been
basically all over the area and I don't have any problems getting a signal.
The only time I ever had a problem was when I went up to Chappaqua, North of
Tarrytown. I was even in Sears yesterday on Queens Blvd and 63rd Drive and I
think I was the only one in the store that had a good signal to make and get
calls. My dad was with me and he has ATT prepaid. He couldn't get out at
all. There were also a few other people that tried to make calls around me
and they were having a hard time getting out. Now, that might be because we
were in the middle of the store, by the watches, but I got a perfect signal
on my phone and was able to call people. My mom has Virgin Mobile but she
left her phone in the car. I would have liked to see what kind of signal she
got because Virgin uses Sprint's network. I don't know what, if any, mobile
service Sears sells but that might have something to do with it too.

I'm in Flushing and work at JFK Airport. My srevice is excellent. I'm also very
happy with my service when I travel. Many of my coworkers have Sprint and are
quite satisfied as well. Just wish that Sprint Motorola V60c would come out
soon.

I visit a friend in Kew Gardens frequently and my service there is
flawless (Sanyo 5300)
