The BIG BLUE will cost a little bit more than that with the iCandy.

Ok, well, its your money sir.

Thanks for your concern. We get a corporate discount with AT&T - that would make both plans "updated sprint for me" and "ATT" about the same price.

well then you gotta decide which way to go stay or switch it looks like price is not an issue you have to figure out based on liking the phone more or less and the feature set you'' get the most use out of.

Not to mention coverage

jfa02 · 07-29-2009, 09:13 AM

That too!

Yes! Coverage in your area, price and affordability are all points to look at before choosing a carrier and phone/smartphone.

PCWorld did a comparison article ... smartphones are costly (all of them). Since the Palm Pre with Sprint seems to be the least of the expensive lot.

Wow, 109.82 for Sprint? If they had more towers they'd have more people signed up on their network.

Ok, Let us compare pricing for what I need, I mentioned before that I get corporate discount from ATT but sprint matched that, anyways after looking at both plan prices from ATT and Sprint here is what I found;
Family plan with 3 lines and least minuets and unlimited data on my phone and a 200 or 300 text for second line and 3rd line just voice.
Sprint would cost 130 (1st 2 lines) + 20 (3rd line) = $150 total for 3 lines providing all three lines with data and text though I really do not need it.
ATT would cost 70 (1st 2 lines) + 10 (3rd line) + 30 (data plan) + 5 (text) = $115 total for 3 lines.
