    Debating on building or buying.

    Contract ends with Sprint. I'd much rather find the phone I want (a Treo of some sort, but preferably a 700 series or higher) and then go to whatever provider I pick. Providers are making a killing on sales for these phones, so I want to escape that if possible. Only trouble is, I...
