Sprint has recently released a Palm Pre print ad directed toward iPhone users whose contracts with AT&T will soon expire.  At first glance one would think this ad makes sense.  The eaten apple is pretty funny symbolism if you think about it.  But something’s not right.  If I have an iPhone, my contract is up with AT&T and I am not satisfied with AT&T’s service, why wouldn’t I just take my phone to another GSM network (read T-Mobile)?  Why would I buy another phone and enter another contract?  At that why would I choose as a replacement a phone that can only work on one CDMA network?

I know of several people currently using iPhones on T-Mobile though there is some debate about the data speeds with the iPhone 3G. Some would say they are getting a better customer service experience from T-Mobile.  The other option I know many are waiting for is Verizon, which is in the process of rolling out LTE technology which would support iPhones.

Would you trade in your iPhone for a Palm Pre?  If you are unhappy with AT&T, would you switch to Sprint?  Or do you have another plan?
