comparison of plans for each provider (or post what your bill is, service, plan)
Has anyone done such a thing taking into account Sprint Sero, etc? Since i've only been with Sprint, i have no idea if others have equivalent plans or not.
I glanced at Cingular's page briefly when the Iphone was introduced and it appeared you need to add a 39.99 data plan just to use web & email with a smartphone not to mention a regular phone plan.
Sprint's lowest one is 30 a month for 500 min on the Sero that includes all this. Even on a family plan, i only had to add 15 a month for it and still get my 25% employee discount. I currently have the 2000 min for 85 a month from way long ago. 15 for powervision. And 59.99 a month for a data card plan. All has the 25% discount applied (although i had to call back and go through the rounds to get the data plan discounted which was promised before i bought it).
So a Treo, a reg phone for wife, and data card with unlimited data plan... plus protection plan for Treo all add up to 141 a month after taxes/discounts applied. Or about 96 a month before i got the data card.

Verizon Voice and Data plan:
450 minutes
Unlimited up-to-5GB-a-month data
big total of $80 a month, including company discount that oddly enough only applies to the voice component of the plan 
A similar deal with Cingular would run me $65 a month. Once I convince my wife to switch, bye bye Verizon...

I've been with Sprint for more than ten years, over this time I have picked up various discounts and perks - mostly due to Sprint's ineptitude and 'retentions' trying to correct it. Although Sprint can be frustrating at times - in the end, I am very happy.
Here is what I have now:
Two lines sharing -
2000 Anytime minutes
Free first incoming minute
free nights & weekends starting @ 6 PM
EVDO PowerVision
300/500 SMS
$65 including taxes

Single line, 500 minutes
Unlimited data, MMS messaging, Nights and Weekends at 7pm
1000 text messages ($5)

Comes out to around $50/month after taxes, fees, etc.
I've been with Sprint since about 1995 and couldn't be happier. My wife and daughter are on Verizon, and that was a mistake...I'll be switching them back in April when the contract expires.
