Smart Phone Shopping (Part 2)

My goodness, I had no idea how many smart phones were out there. Dave and I have been shopping online, and reading customer reviews, and are just amazed at the sellection. We love the HTC EVO 4G from Sprint, but something happened that has made us a little miffed at Sprint. We went shopping at the store, so we could touch and see the phone in person. We had planned to purchase our new account online, because we could get a deal on this phone, but when we clicked on the button that indicated we already had Sprint, the price of the phone went up fifty dollars. Apparantly the discount is for new customers. Wow! I can definately understand a business wanting to draw new clients, but don't their current ones deserve a break, too? So now we're checking out what the other Cell Phone Service providers have to offer. We can get an iphone for the same price Sprint wants for the EVO, but AT&T's monthly fee is higher. That's no good. The phones will only cost us one time, but the bill will be repeated every month. I did read that, starting February 10th, Verizon will offer the iphone as well. We may have to check that out. Since we're both still under contract, we're in no hurry.
