Overpriced Sprint phones

One thing I miss about Boost, phone are cheaper, to buy outright.

Sprint just changed all the phones on their site, to an 18month lease. Then after 18months, you can buyout the phone, but at their silly high msrp they have on the phone when you started. Same phone is up to 2 times higher then the boost model. Just Boost doesn't offer as many models as Sprint.

They are making an argument for churn all the time.
 
I'm guessing they hope people will trade their phone in for a new one, that way they stay on the network and Sprint can resell the phone.

But yeah, prepaid carriers like Boost, Cricket, MetroPCS, etc. offer some good discounts.
