I guess a better cost/benfit analysis would be something along the lines of:
Sprint only has dumbphones and the TP2 available right now for SERO customers. In two years they will only have dumbphones (unless Windows Phone 7 devices get included). Do I really want to have a 528mhz WM 6.5 device in two years when everyone else has a dual core 2.5 Mhz WM7 or Android device?
