You can plug that identical story in with ALL carriers. I have been through them all and I hate to tell you this, but the only folks worse than AT&T is verizon. As far as "crippled" goes... I am not sure what you are basing that on. If you mean that you have FM radio and that sprint doesn't, I highly doubt that the sprint customers will tell you they view the phone as crippled without that feature. FM radio is a waste.

Don't get me wrong, sprint was dumb for letting you go... especially since you didnt have a contract. But if that was the case, the warranty for any phone is 30 day return no questions. You should have just returned it and picked up a new one at a different location.

Good luck with AT&T. But the reality is that any carrier is good until you have a problem... then just about all of em suck. Sprint is the least sucky out of the 4 carriers I have been with.
