This deal is the thing that attracted me to Sprint, but I ended up going
with 350 peak, 500 off peak for $50, plus LD. I didn't know my usage profile
very well but I figured I'd get around 800 minutes for $60. Turns out, I
don't use my phone that much, and I'd be better if I shifted to the 50/500,
but they don't offer it anymore! But, even with the deal I got, it's not the
end of the world ($60), and I got lots of time should I ever need it.
>Plans seem to have gotten a lot more expensive: AT&T is $90 for 600
Yep. And should prices drop, I now have a very nice usage profile of myself,
so I could just plug the rates in the spreadsheet and be able to figure the
best pretty quickly. (I tried to get my previous landline usage data from
Nynex, but no go.)

I don't think that much of it, even though it got an award:

I'll stick with my Sony till something truly better comes along, like:

but it's not clear it will have a vibrating ringer, and of course when?

Is that optimistic?
