MetroPCS, Boost Mobile, or Cricket

I'm on Cricket. It works well in the Denver area, and surprisingly well up in some of the front range mountains. Their phone selection absolutely sucks though, and flashing other CDMA phones over isn't completely reliable either.

I can't speak for the phone selection, but I know someone who flashed an HTC Diamond over to MetroPCS. With a little help from howardforums he got internet and MMS to work, everything works great.

As is repeated, it's for phone subsidy. I got two years with alltel with unlimited data, texting, ect because it killed the price on the phone. Got the Touch Pro for 199$ rather than the retail 699$.

I'm sorry, you didn't answer in the form of a question.

Doesn't this mean a company is not making as much profit (per month) from your 2-year contract compared to someone who isn't on a contract? In other words, it would be more profitable for a company to retain customers who are out of contracts.
