Thanks for all of the responses. She gets a pretty good discount from work if she goes with Sprint so yesterday we got out to the Sprint store. Easier said than done with a 4 month old and a 4 year old;)

The Note 2 was just physically too big for her hands, especially when using as a phone. She just didn't like how it felt. So it came down to the S2 and S3. The S2 is a little smaller so she was leaning toward that one. While I don't know much about smartphones, from what I read here and handling both phones I could tell the S3 really has an amazing display. Plus the quad processors really gave it the edge. In the end she went with the S3. I've been fooling around with it and it's really an impressive piece of technology.

Now I've decided to go "smart" as well and get on her plan. I really love the S3 but don't know how I'm going to get around with it? In the winter I can put it in my coat pocket but in the summer it'll be hard to fit in a pant pocket. The S2 is only a tiny bit smaller so not really worth the downgrade in features.

Does Sprint offer any decent smartphones that are more iphone size?

The iPhone is the only phone that's iPhone size.

You're within the return period, so I'd consider switching carriers.

How much is the discount? Might still be cheaper/faster to go with prepaid or T-Mobile or something.

23% discount. We'll deal with the service.

I've said the same thing for 7 years with sprint. I get the same discount. However my local tower had been unusable for a month and a half. Can't understand a word people say and non stop network connection issues. Good luck putting up with them.

My wife's work phone has been Sprint forever and honestly I haven't noticed a difference between it and our T-Mobile service. They both seem to drop out in the Pines (NJ) and going over large (long) bridges to Philly/NYC. Then again we live in a pretty urban area so I think there are cell towers aplenty.
