my phone took a **** on me, AGAIN.
i've had about enough of this phone. im going to go this saturday to bitch about my second phone ****ing up. im debating on keeping sprint and seeing if i can pick up an instinct for a decent price.

or

is it worth it to jump on the iphone bandwagon?

stay with sprint:
pros: hopefully keep my cheap plan, hopefully get a deal on the phone. should be cheaper than canceling my plan and getting at&t. the instinct looks cool and got decent reviews.
cons: sprint service isnt always the best, but works most of the time.

get at&t:
pros: iphone is mad jdm l33t, service is l33t, etc. bandwagon phones ftw.
cons: mad $$$$$, is it worth it? is 90 dollars a month worth it?

I switched from sprint to AT&T when work gave me an iPhone. The coverage (at least for me) improved and the iPhone is just fantastic. Do it.

iPhone ftmfw. It may not have all the features of other smart phones, but it does what it does better than anything else. And, it's mad JDM l33t.

pearl · 09-05-2008, 01:01 AM

im wondering if i can get some sort of deal on it, since ive had sprint for about a year now.

DoubleOughtCel · 09-05-2008, 01:09 AM

the only thing i know of really was when i got my instinct at launch, there was a $100 mail in rebate. i don't know if they still offer it though.
