My options... I need advice (stay with TP?)

I've been looking at the iphone because a lot of free apps cover what I'm wanting from it (like google app's voice search and such) but I really do NOT feel comfortable knowing that if someone steals my phone, I have to pay 400 bucks just to get the 8gb model. With Sprint's replacement plan, all you have to do is say it was lost or stolen and they send you a new phone for 50 bucks.

Maybe I'll take my touch pro to a local sprint store and see if they have any that aren't so flimsy feeling. Will they let me exchange at the store?

In the long run I'm looking at 340 bucks plus whatever else I spend on this thing (ghost armor, tv out cables, ect) and to me it just seems like thats WAY too expensive for what you get. Maybe I'm just being cheap.
