Remember that you pay for the phone throughout the contract, it doesn't really cost $149.

I guess some of you don't realize, that there's a lot of customers who could care less about having the latest bandwidth technologies. Some people have iPhones to check their mail, play angry birds, and read the news.

But yea, let's give Sprint sh#t for cutting prices and publicly stating that they will NOT be adopting Verizon and AT&T's new pricing policies because they believe it's unfair to customers.

The things people will complain about astounds me sometimes.

I guess this is good for Sprint to try and capture last second sales on last year's handset. Bad for customers who will undoubtedly be sucked into it.

If Sprint's data speeds weren't so horrible I'd switch to them. My brother has an iPhone on them and he is lucky to see 200kbps down. I'm normally pulling 5-7mbps with AT&T.

Do you live under a tower?

Locked into 3G for two more years? Horrible deal if you want LTE. If you don't care, sure, $50. off, why not.

There's no way I am signing a two year contract on 3G in 2012.

Seems to me they are locking in customers before an iPhone 5 that they won't carry. If iPhone 5 is 4G LTE, the Sprint network isn't ready for it yet
