Sprint A900m vs RAZR

* Update - this is more of a rant than a review*
Well I was out of contract and wanted to get a new phone through sprint. I noticed that wirefly was offering the Samsung a900 for free with new service. I thought that was great so i called up Sprint to match that price and sign me up for another 2 years. Well that should of been easy enough right!
So I called and the first rep said they dont match that co because of some way they issue the credit (I dont give a rats ass about that) and then I asked how much the phone would be, he transferred me. The next person I talked to told me the best deal would be 150 bucks for the same phone I could get for free if I just cancel and resign up. I explained this to the guy and he didnt say much, I then asked what he suggested and he told me to go to my local Sprint store and see if they could price match, if that didnt work then I needed to call the cancelation department and they may be able to help. So I did, the Sprint store couldnt match and I drove home. Now I call up and wait on hold again and get transferred to cancelations, after about 20 min the lasy gives me 100 credit to my account to cover my monthly payments and I now can go back to the sprint store and pick any phone I want and basically get close to the other co’s offer.
So over all I spent at least 3 hours driving calling and going back to the store and spending $50 bucks more than I would have if I just canceled and signed up new. Looking back I should of just canceled, my phone number is not worth 50 bucks and 3-4 hours.
Okay so I still have not actually signed up for a new phone, I am waiting on the new RAZR to come out but wanted to know what people thought was better. I have the 1250 Sero plan so data and internet is included. Any ideas guys?
razr isnt as great as the a900…yea u can upgrade the mem on razr with microsd…but a900 an hold bout 50 songs from sprint store or u can convert them to mp4 for lower filesize.
GPS- Razr has gps…a900 doesnt…you practically have to hold ur razr to ur windshield for it to get signal…not 2 great.
A900…better built…feels good in hand
I’ve got em both btw
I think if I get another phone it will be the A900m. Mostly because I have read it supports tethering. That would be good for me as I work from a laptop and tethering would enable me to work from anywhere.
Im starting to think I should of just got the A900m instead of the KRZR.
actually ended up with a treo 700wx
