As far as Sprint dropping the ball, etc. I would imagine that most of these carriers don't like to release too many high end devices of the same type at once for marketing purposes. It makes more sense to have a flagship device. Not sure why Sprint seems intent on making that the Instict but I guess to the casual observer looking for simple, less expensive, and trendy, it fits the bill.

As far as switching for this, there is no way I would pay double or triple what I pay for my data now and go to Verizon. $15/month for unlimited 3G has yet to be beaten by anyone so it takes more than an incremental upgrade to current devices to get me to leave. That **** adds up and Sprint's data is the fastest option in my area.

I think the only devices that would tempt me away from my cheap and fast data are truly groundbreaking ones like a Tegra phone or something along the lines of a 2nd gen Android device. Everything else is just like a bigger screen or a bit more RAM than my current phone.
