Yeah, I knew that. Point being that I didn't want to pay more and get less.

essentially...with sprint the average cust pays 30 bucks for all that stuff...with at&t/cingular the average customer would pay 40.00

Right, but with that $40 you get tethering which is worth $10/mo for me. The point I made to guy #2 was that if I have to pay $30 extra for what I was getting for $10, I might as well pay an additional $10 and get tethering.

As pointed out, there is no picture mail for the Q. That's probably because, you're right, there is no real difference. Other phones don't have that sort of email capability (or at least with the ease of the Q), and that's where picture mail comes in.
