So basically people can wait a month or so and get the same thing for $99, or the next new thing for $199.
Basically only the very uninformed ones would pay $149 today for it. Still plenty of them, but most would wait.
So actually an $86 savings. But really not that great of a deal considering it will drop to $99 when the iPhone 5 comes out, and it is only 3G as opposed to LTE not to mention the smaller screen. They should have their entire 3G network covered with LTE by the end of 2013 and around 120+ million by the end of this year so even if you live in a small town that will be dead last to get LTE you would still have an entire year with 3G only on your contract.
I think people like me trying to sell their 4 & 4S iPhone's are going to have a much harder time of it than in the past thanks to LTE. Anyone wanting the latest Sprint LTE news and maps should check out this site run by just a user. Great source of info and maps. Sprint 4G Rollout Updates
Sprint should have done this at launch...not that I would ever use their service.

So the deal Sprint is offering is really good for the 16GB model.
