I have the Rumor right now and I have been with sprint for about 3 years. Right now there is an upgrade but the phones i want are different contracts with internet and all that fancy stuff. I just want a palm pixi because it looks nice and its really compact to me. Sprint said I cant even buy the phone for my number because the phone would be locked if its under a diffeent plan.So can i buy a sprint phone off like ebay or something and switch numbers, not plans?
