I’m gonna have to agree with you on this one. Any word on an iphone mini or iphone nano? 
Too bad I fucking hate A-Tingular. I used to have so many issues when I worked retail with their phones/billing oopsies. Personally had Sprint at that time, emp. plan was cheap, Samsung phones were awesome but the service sucked which is why I ended up paying more and switching to Verizon.
I’ve thought about going the same route but port over my numebr to work BlackBerry 8830 on Sprint.
It seems Sprint is coming back around full swing enough to make it attractive.
