The decision for me honestly wasn't that simple. On one hand, I could stay with Sprint, have a phone that does EVERYTHING the iphone does, and then some, and save 200 bucks. On the other hand, I could pay 200 bucks to get out of sprint, but get a great phone that I know I'd like as it has a great entertainment factor. I feel I made the most practical decision, especially with Christmas coming up (saving money) and I just know eventually I'd get just as pissed off at at&t as I do at sprint.

If I could go back to the day I decided to go with the instinct instead of the iphone, I would have gone with the iphone. I got suckered into a crap phone, and when I tried to send it back (well within 30 days of activation) they told me I was past 30 days of PURCHASE (it took over a week to get to me.) If a Sprint rep had been honest and told me my eval period started really the date of purchase, not activation, I'd be with at&t right now.

But I have to make lemonade out of piss with Sprint, and sending them another 200 bucks just feels like they double screwed me. With the instinct, I felt like I wasn't getting what I was paying for with the data plan. With this phone, I stream media all day long and browse the web. I'm getting my money's worth.
