Yes, I've thought the same. Have been trying to drag my brother-in-law and sister over to Sprint from AT&T due to their much cheaper rates, but the 2-for-1 deals and more functional plus phones on Verizon are making that argument not as convincing. If Tmobile and/or AT&T get the plus, it will be harder still. The only thing that “helps” is that my brother-in-law, who was previously eyeing the Nexus 1, is now more interested in the EVO. Still, it is hard to recommend people come over to Sprint from another carrier because the costs tend to even themselves out more and the phones (at least the Pre phones) are better on Verizon. It's just dumb that we have to deal with different phones on each carrier. One day things will be more open. I wonder if 4G will make it so that you can bring your phone to all the carriers, as you can do in Europe via 3G GSM and Simms

I agree that the last scenario seems most likely…they need to be quiet & more pre+ before we hear about the next device & everyone holds out for that. The fact that they were hiring earlier THIS year for hardware eng. for the next gen of webOS devices makes me (sadly) think it will be later this (or even next) year than we want…
