Verizon folks tend to like Verizon even though it robs them. I don't see many switching to Sprint to get a phone that is also available on their current provider.

Can I get apps from somewhere other then iTunes?
Can I run widgets and Live Wallpapers on it?
Can I put my 32GB memory card in it?
No? No? No?
I'll stick to my Droid....

Well, my old T-mobile contract is running out this month. I'll give Sprint a look before deciding what I will do. I wasn't interested in the iPhone before because I won't touch AT&T or Verizon with a 100 foot pole.

I'm scheduled to upgrade on 4/1/2012, and figure by then they will be just about giving away other good stuff.
Maybe I get an iPhone, but maybe not.
After spending quality time with Android, it may be hard to change. If they would let me move all apps to the SD card without rooting, it would be a sure thing.most
But, I want to see how MSFT does between now and then, as well as whatever new Android thing comes up.

You can get iphone apps from other sources. The nice thing about the ap store is that the programs have been tested and vetted by apple. Its the same argument that Windows users used to make (there are more programs available for the PC, - discounting the fact that most of it was crapware)


It would be nice if apple included a memory card, but thats not a deal breaker.

Live wallpapers are resource consumers. I see no need for them.

I'm with Sprint and would LOVE to get an Iphone, but I still have a year before I'm eligible for an upgrade. I wish Sprint would impliment an early upgrade policy like other providers have done in the past so that loyal Sprint customers could upgrade to the Iphone. Doesn't look like that this is going to happen though.

It is for me.
$200 for an 8GB phone? $300 for a 32?
My company paid $150 for my 8GB phone and I added 32gb . 40GB phone for less then the cheapest good iPhone?
(3gs sucks, I would not recommend that to anyone except younger kids)

No brainer for me.

All the newest pohones can run even the most advanced LWP without any noticable performance hit. It's really amazing.
No, no one NEEDS them... but they are cool as hell.

I wasn't talking about leaving Verizon for Sprint....I meant who's leaving Android for a iPhone now that's its available on Sprint. I'm sticking with my Droid I feel like Droid technology wise is far ahead of iPhone

Not to mention I'm so used to the bigger screen on my Epic that's iPhone's smaller screen would be hard to go back to.

Since Droids (as per your OP) is only on Verizon, they'd have to be coming from Verizon.
