    My crappy Samsung Moment just sucks, and I dont think I can hold out until March 1st, so is there a way to find a decent replacement phone in the interim? I have Sprint. Doesn't have to be Samsung, and I'd prefer to keep the price at $150 or less.

    I've checked ebay and craigslist so far.

    Do you want to renew a new 2-year contract with Sprint? If so, just try calling them. I was only a little over a year into a my 2-year contract with AT&T and was able to get a Samsung Galaxy S2 for the normal upgrade fee about two weeks ago. It probably helped that I've been with them since 2004 and had only upgraded twice before but it still never hurts to call.

    Dylan, I signed up with Sprint in May 2010, so that probably wont work. I like Sprint and will stay with them. It's worth a shot though.

    Definitely call them before buying anything. I'm with ATT and can get all the new customer phone prices but thinking I'll go with Sprint when my contract is up.
