I read that review earlier this morning, and it's basically correct, save
that the author was incorrect about fees and switching from one carrier to
the other.

It's going to be awhile, till the customers can see the benefits of what
each carrier can bring to the table as a combined effort.

He was also incorrect about mobile-to-mobile minutes. I have the Sprint
$5/month PCS to PCS unlimited minutes, and my calls to my brother's
Nextel work phone hit against those minutes now, whereas before they
came ourt of my anytime or N&W bucket.

I should have mentioned, like many CNET articles (or any article with
reader feedback) the real truth is usually found in the reader
responses. Nearly every flaw in the article was addressed in the reader
comments.

It's getting to the point that I now take most of these articles by
"experts" with a grain of salt till I've read the reader feedback. I'm
guessing the Websites don't mind--and don't bother much with
corrections--as they end up with more page-views per article.
