If you've been eying some of the phones Sprint has on offer, but have been on the fence for one reason or other, it may be time to consider a switch, particularly if you're in the smart phone crowd. Until April 16th, any customer that ports their number from a different carrier to a Sprint smart phone (including any Android device) will be eligible for a $125 credit to their bill, which will be applied to their bill after 60 days. Those looking for a less complicated feature phone won't be left in the lurch either, as they'll be looking at $50. At the very least, the money could be useful if you're looking at a termination fee at your current carrier. Is this a compelling offer for any of you non-Sprint Android users? Let us know in the comments!

Witnesses at Mitch Wright’s birth claim that he came out as a mechanical cyborg beast, who then decimated the doctors in the room with a violent laser blast. Naturally, these witnesses are insane. Mitch was born in Texas, grew up in central New Jersey, and then moved back to Texas, where he met his spectacularly awesome wife. He currently works as a repair tech for Major National Carrier, where he is able to fulfill his love for gadgets by taking phones and PDAs apart and (hopefully) fixing them. He has a strong passion for technology, reading, writing, and science fiction, and loves the fact that modern technology is getting ever closer to the latter. In the world of PDAs, Mitch started off in the land of Windows Mobile with the HTC Touch and HTC Diamond, migrated to webOS with the Palm Pre, and has since been infatuated with Android, first with the Samsung Moment and now with the HTC Evo.
