rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benjaminyoung - The 8200 DP model is the best value in the Phaser 8200 lineup. It offers a 1200 dpi photo mode, which comes in handy for amazingly realistic, vibrant photo printing. There are many things to like about this printer, and a few drawbacks as well.

Thu, 4 Oct 2001 05:39:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benjaminyoung - My experience with Cingular was far superior to the time I spent with Sprint PCS -- especially in one key area: coverage and signal strength. This is one aspect most Sprint PCS users know can be a nightmare. While AT&T has always offered the best...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benjaminyoung - Earthlink (parent co. of Mindspring) offers competitive rates and fast speeds. However, your connection rates will vary depending on your CLEC or TELCO.

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Los Angeles: Free but Far from Clear: Even Sprint Engineers Admit Service is Non-Existent

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 04:29:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author benjaminyoung - Sure, Sprint PCS can afford give you Nationwide minutes for the same price as local minutes on other plans... because you'll never be able to use them.
