My wife and I have been with Sprint for years, but I'm now shopping around for the first time. We've been ok with Sprint, but they don't really have any phones we like right now, and my wife's Treo just died. We're on the SERO plan, so we have quite a nice deal. For both of us to get iPhones, it would add $70-$80 per month, and that's hard to swallow. I have a 16GB iPod Touch, and love the thing. I'd LOVE to have the iPhone instead. Just don't think I can justify the additional expense.
