and the plan is a deal called SERO which has just gone off into the sunset recently, but I'm sticking to my plan for a long time to come. either way sprint (or verizon or at&t) is worth at least twice what you pay cricket

First of all, although I'm a Cricket advocate, I'm not a Cricket loyalist. I just use their service. I currently have a Sprint account that I share with my Father. I also have several Verizon pre-paid accounts. I am carrier-agnostic. But without perks like SERO, Cricket gives me exceptional value. Other than that, they suck at the corporate level as well--hence my use of other carriers. As a hacker, you never know when you need an active account to test/activate an ESN with. Plus I would never willingly be stuck with just one carrier and no options.

So this is not an anti-Sprint thread, so much as it is an anti-HTC-get-your-head-out-of-your-***-and-offer-the-iPhone-some-REAL-competition-for-crissakes thread.

But shame on Sprint for all the cheap knockoffs that they've been pandering while a real champ like the Raphael/Touch Pro could be offered. *EDIT: And shame on them for removing this devices front-side camera! WTF? But then it's all about that corporate dollar in the end. And I think Sprint customers deserve better. I hear all the time how Sprint and Verizon customers have jumped ship to AT&T after playing with the iPhone, no matter how crippled the device is.

But these margins are obviously quite slim.
