Has anyone else noticed that on nowisgood.com Sprint is saying that you have to change your plan to buy this phone?

"Purchase of the Instinct requires activation on an Everything plan."

My first thought is whether I can buy one of these phones from another source and swap it on my account without changing my plan. They say the plan change is required to buy it...but not to use it. :)

Yes that is tru,im not sure what plan you have but, if you have unlimited data, you should be ok w/ swapping the phone on your account, theres three plans under the everything offer and all of them include unlimited data, which w/ any other phone plan would be $25 extra a month. the three plans that sprint offer for individual simple everything is the 450, 900 or unlimited voice and they all include unlimited data prices are $70, $90 and $100...w/ my current plan it would be cheaper to get the $70 plan then pay and extra $25 bux.

yes, if i have to up my contract 50 bucks a month, i might as well go with the iphone 2 in june.
