Look man, no matter how you slice this...
T-Mobile's plan is $10 per month cheaper than the comparable plan on Sprint.
If you factor in the cost of the device, then T-Mobile was still cheaper.
You can pay for the full cost of the device up front on T-Mobile. I only averaged it out over 2 years because you incorrectly stated, repeatedly, that Sprint was cheaper when you factor in the cost of the phone.
So yes, pay for the phone up front, as you said you want to do, and then your monthly fee is $10 less on T-Mobile than it is on Sprint. And, again, that is without a contract on T-Mobile, and stuck in a 2 year deal on Sprint.
Please explain to me how Sprint is cheaper. You are just not making any sense at this point. I need you to explain so I can understand what you're trying to say here. I have posted the numbers and T-Mobile's plans were cheaper, and if you add in the cost of the phones T-Mobile was still cheaper- cheaper per month and cheaper overall. If you diagree with that, post some numbers so I can see where you are disagreeing. And I don't mean your special super secret discount. Who knows what kind of special discount you might get at T-Mobile. We're taliing about advertised plans here...

As for your ridiculous cost numbers, lets go over that...
T-Mobile Even More Plus 1500 unlimited text and web, with a MyTouch 3G (comparable to Hero):
Phone cost: $399.99 (no contract)
Plan cost: $119.99
So over the course of that 2 year contract, $16 per month. With the plan and the phone both factored in, that is about $136 per month on T-Mobile- with no contract.
Im talking bout this..the extra 16 a month..
Sprint Everything Data 1500 with Hero:
Phone cost: $179.99 (with 2 year contract)
Plan cost: $129.99
So over the course of that 2 year co0ntract, the phone costs $7 per month. So with the plan and the phone both factored in, it costs about $137, and that is WITH a 2 year contract.
Vs paying the 179 for the hero..upfront meaning your still paying 129.99 before taxes. Thats how people think..they would have a lower monthly payment and a higher up front cost.. so with the t-mobile deal its better to buy the phone upfront.. but if u do installments vs the same plan with sprint. after u pay 179 for the hero then sprint is cheaper. thats my point
So, again, T-Mobile comes out cheaper. If you get some kind fo discount on Sprint, fine- that will obviously play into it. But for the average joe T-Mobile is cheaper, and they don't even require a contract.
And this is all taken straight from the websites, no hunting for secret deals or discounts...
