Sprint Phones?

I want to know how long you have to have a phone before you can upgrade to a new phone. We have the Sprint Family Power Pack, and I recently broke my phone and We already had a brand new phone se we just set it up.

After 12 months you get a $75 allowance; after 2 years it’s the special offer price. My understanding is that you do have a phone, it’s just not one you love.

My recommendation would be to look for a used phone over ebay or the internet – as long as it is Sprint compatible it can be activated. Otherwise you will have to wait until October of 2008 to get the $75 allowance.

To those who are so critical, realize that the Sprint, AT&T and Verizon all lose money on handsets. They give you a great price to earn your monthly service business. All companies have the same basic policies.

I always advise insurance!!!

October Project $8.98 During their three years with Sony Music, October Project released two recordings of gothic MOR before being dropped by the label and disbanding. This self-titled debut is just slightly rawer than its successor, but fans of October Project’s dark, melodic attempts at poetic rock will definitely approve of the 1993 release’s lush collection of mid-tempo goth pop. Sounding like Stevie Nicks and Peter Steel’s lovechild, singer Mary Fahl powers the band with her deep, haunting voice, and fast vibrato. Fahl is a completely unique artist, sounding like no other vocalist of her era. Fans of female contemporaries (especially Fiona Apple) might want to check out October Project just to hear Fahl’s smoky vocal approach. In what was a rather strange band lineup, Fahl sang lyrics written by non-musician (and wife October Project keyboardist/songwriter Emil Adler) Julie Flanders. It isn’t that unusual for a band to look outside its own ranks for material, but rarely will a songwriter (or especially a lyricist) receive equal billing as the musicians — especially without significant prior credits and with fairly modest abilities. Flanders’ new age rhyming was October Project’s weakest link with its tiring and predictable imagery. Especially agitating is the near-constant naturalist references to the sun, the rain, the distant miles of desert, etc….To craft her symbolism, the lyricist simply matches a natural element with the particular experiencial phase that the ever-present “you” and “I” of her vague relationship poetry are dealing with: good times (sun), bad time (rain), emotional distant (why, distant miles of dry desert, of course). That’s not to suggest that all the romantic mysticism doesn’t occasionally hit the mark. Memorable tracks like “Return to Me” and “Take Me As I Am” do overcome their sticky language with lush melodies and professional performances. The trick to enjoying October Project is to simply not take it nearly as seriously as it takes itself. ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music GuidePerformers: Julie Flanders – Cymbals, Finger Cymbals; Jim Grosjean – Viola; Anthony LaMarchina – Cello; Bob Mason – Cello; Alan Umstead – Viola; Kristin Wilkinson – Viola; Emil Adler – Keyboards, Vocals;

October Road $7.98 James Taylor’s 15th studio album of his first new recordings in 32 years is, if possible, even more familiar and self-referential than ever. By now, it is an article of faith that you could take practically any track from any Taylor album and put it on another one without disturbing the mood, and that is as true of the songs here as it is of those on the other 14. That warm (if slightly deepened) tenor, singing in its odd accent which combines New England and the North Carolina Piedmont, and that acoustic guitar, with its sparkling, unhurried fingerpicking, remain the most prominent elements in the sound. But even more, October Road finds Taylor seemingly intent on evoking his own past. The title track, of course, recalls his song “Country Road,” and “Caroline I See You,” (even if it refers specifically to his wife), inescapably echoes “Carolina in My Mind.” Also, Taylor deliberately recycles themes from his earlier work. “October Road” begins, “Well I’m going back down maybe one more time,” while “My Traveling Star” ends, “And shame on me for sure/For one more highway song.” Throughout, on what seem like the most personal songs he has written in decades, Taylor appears to be commenting on a second chance he feels he has received, and though he couches the negative aspects in humor (“Mean Old Man,” whose subject is the singer, ends with a dog joke, and “Raised Up Family,” which contains recriminations, tosses in a musical reference to Gilligan’s Island), there are strong hints of a man who feels he’s been rescued. As such, it is perhaps fitting (if seasonally curious for an album released in the summer) to conclude with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” a holiday song from wartime that reaffirms the importance of family in a world gone awry. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music GuidePerformers: Rob Mounsey – Electric Bagpipes, Keyboards, Penny Whistle, Percussion, String Pads, Synthesizer; Karen Elaine Bakunin – Viola; Chiara Civello – Vocals (Background); Brian Dembow – Viola; Michael Eisenstein – Choir, Chorus; Stephen Erdody – Cello; Walt Fowler – Horn; Nina Gordon – Choir, Chorus;

October’s Hill $15.28 Combining beautifully crafted originals with a handful of well-chosen covers, Bill Staines’ 22nd album is rife with the kind of warm vocals and endearing tales that we’ve come to respect from the folk master. Staines has always been the author of songs that quickly grow on his listeners, and tracks like “Old City Jail” with themes of hard labor, trains, and prison life give it a quality that makes it seem much older than it actually is, the delicate “Dear Friend,” and the poignant “When I Hear the Music Play” are all welcome additions to the Staines canon. The mandolin and fiddle on the cover of Guy Clark’s “Virginia’s Reel,” the excellent vocal contributions by Jeanie Stahl on the Carter Family classic “Gold Watch and Chain,” and the violin and fiddle of the traditional gospel tune “All Things Bright and Beautiful” fit perfectly beside the new Staines compositions. In the end, October’s Hill is a work of endearing songcraft and lyrical depth that can only be the product of a longtime master of the genre. ~ Matt Fink, All Music GuidePerformers: William Russell – Oboe; Stuart Schulman – Fiddle, Violin; Nadine Trudel – Cello; John Curtis – Guitar (Electric), Mandolin; Hillary Foster – Violin; Stingy Lapel – Percussion; Larry Luddecke – Keyboards, Organ, Piano, Recorder; Jeanie Stahl – Vocals; Bill Staines – Guitar, Piano, Vocals; Guy Van Duser – Guitar, Mandolin; Mike Walsh – Bass; Brian Wood – Guitar
