I haven't been in a bunch of Sprint stores in my area, but I have been in three. I've had every Sprint Rep in these stores tell me that they won't even sell Motorola to their customers because they have too many problems with them and they keep coming back. I told them I could see a difference in their krzr and rzr compared to VZW's models (UI seems to run slower on Sprint), but that the Q and Q9c are not the same type of handset, having WM on top. I had a Q on VZW for almost 2 yrs and other than lack of software for WM standard, it was one of the best phones I had ever owned. When I switched to Sprint last year, I bought a Q for my daughter and she still loves using it. BTW SERO is AWESOME!!!! I experienced this same bias toward Motorola in three different stores, and I don't see why Corporate Sprint would continue to stock Motorola Products if none of their reps are trying to sell them. They are not only not trying to sell them, when people would walk in the store and try to buy a Motorola phone I heard several of them talk the customer out of buying the Motorola.
