Well after much ado, I have left AT&T behind and couldn’t be happier. Not only is my service better (so far no dropped calls or data connections), but I saved money on my monthly service (for me and my family) over what I was paying at AT&T. After much complaining about my AT&T service, my wife’s phone died and I refused to get a new phone with accompanying contract from AT&T and suffer for another two years. My wife and I had talked about moving carriers multiple times, and even took a trip over to the Sprint store so she (and my daughter) could look at the phones in person. While out on a date (with my wife), we stopped by a different Sprint store which was much bigger and had more phones on hand. After a bit more discussion, and call my daughter to look at the phones on-line (so she could pick one), I bit the bullet and made the switch. We also had to call my oldest son so he knew that his service was about to end, he promptly came to the store to sign up on a new account with Sprint also. This also helped reduce my monthly service charges. My wife and I both purchased EVO’s and are quite happy with them.

So now I will stop complaining about AT&T’s service, but since I work in the wireless industry, I may still complain about what they do to their customers (and possibly T-Mobiles).

While Sprint won’t say who will be producing the tablet yet, they did indicated that it would be next year (2011). I find this interesting since CES is right around the corner, and the tablets will most likely be announced at that time. Currently there are 12 tablets that are slated to be announced at CES, but that number may grow.

There will be no shortage of tablets for Sprint to choose from next year, as handset makers vie to steal market share away from Apple’s iPad. In addition to RIM, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard, LG and others all plan to release tablets next year.

As with all new things there will be the exceptional, the good, and the bad. Since I am going to CES (again), I will see what I can dig up while I am there as far as Sprint’s new tablet. Of course, since I am not the mainstream media, I will probably be finding out after everyone else. At least I might get to touch it though.
