There are two things to consider - first of all, a lot of the memory problems are solved with the latest update of the OS. I am sure that this person did not apply this OS update, and it may have solved his/her problem.

Secondly, consider the carrier, Sprint. I know lots of people that use Sprint, and they all tell me the same thing. I am not trying to start a flame war here, but I get the impression (from Sprint customers that I know) that Sprint is cheaper service, and it is unreliable service as well. Phone calls dropping, crackly reception, etc. It is like Microsoft Windows; people have simply learned to live with the unreliability of it, because it is cheaper. This is only my opinion, that I have distilled from testimony of Sprint customers (disclaimer).

Phone calls dropping out, is not acceptable service to me. I have always used Cingular, and I don't have these sort of service problems. I can stay connected all day, and online, all day with Cingular. Maybe in other states, Cingular service is not as great, who knows?, but in this part of the country, south eastern states, (including KY, OH, TN, IN, IL), I have had no problems with Cingular service. I pay $39/month for 1000 minutes/month, free LD and voicemail, and I also pay $20/month on top of that for MediaNet Unlimited Internet service. Just so you know.

I have to say that I have had my share of billing problems with Cingular, with messed up bills that I had to call and resolve myself, and had problems with Cingular's customer service, but I have never had problems with Cingular service. This is not a commercial, just my personal experience, and my personal opinion.
