WHY SHOULD SPRINT STILL GET PAID FOR 2 WEEKS OF SERVICE WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES AT FAULT!? ANYONE?? IT SEEMS WRONG TO ME THAT BUST BUY AND APPLE BOTH LOST OUT ON A 2 YR CONTRACT AND $900 PHONE SALE BUT SPRINT STILL GETS TO COLLECT FROM ME! EVERYONE GETS PUNISHED EXCEPT SPRINT.... I ONLY MADE ABOUT 10 CALLS FOR 3O MINUTES AND TRIED 5-6 DOWNLOADS BUT THEIR DATA NETWORK IS SOOOO BAD THAT I RETURNED IT AND CANCELLED MY CONTRACT AFTER 7 DAYS.  HOW CAN I KEEP THE EVIL FIRM FROM STILL GETTING PAID WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR MY BAD EXPERIENCE?!

First, locate the key on your computer keyboard that has something like "caps lock" printed on it. Press that. Look better now?

Second, I don't know if there is any way for you to get out of paying Sprint but I totally agree with you about their lousy data network and coverage areas. Unless you happen to live in a large metropolitan area, or are fortunate enough to live close to one of their (few?) towers, good luck getting a signal. We gave up on Sprint years ago and went with Verizon Wireless. Lord knows we pay Verizon enough every month, but the service is great. Just recalling how life was when we were with Sprint makes it easier for me to pay that Verizon bill every month. Not to mention that I just got a 32GB Apple iPhone 4S in white, and it is without a doubt the most awesome phone I have ever owned or used.

Good luck.
