When I evaluate my wireless service, I look at the following, in order:
1.) Service
2.) Price
3.) Handset selection
I agree also that Sprint has to pick it up and try to get some more good phones though.

The facts all seem to disagree with you...
#1: AT&T has the fastest network in the nation. They only have problems in a couple of cities, the rest of their network blows Sprint's out of the water.
#2: T-Mobile is not struggling to roll out 3G service. They just finished rolling out the same nationwide 7.2 meg HSPA that AT&T has (the fastest 3G in the nation) and will have it upgraded to 21 meg HSPA+ by mid 2010. To say they are struggling with 3G is out dated information.
#3: The HD2 is the most powerful Windows Mobile phone on the market right now, and when it is released in the USA it will have the fastest 3G in the nation on T-Mobile's 21 meg HSPA+ network. Just a fancy media player with bad service? LOL, not even close.
And while I am on a roll here, I should point out that T-Mobile's "Even More Plus" plans (on their website) are cheaper than any of Sprint's advertised plans, and they don't even require a contract- plus they will let you break the cost of a device up into up to 20 interest free payments if you want- still without a contract, just pay off the balance if you decide to leave.
