T-Mobile sucks, they totally screwed me and I want a new provider, which ones the best?

Ok so I've had my cell phone for almost 2 years (it'll be 2 years this March) and my cell phones battery broke 4 months ago. Meaning it only works when hooked up to the charger, then it'll only last for about 30-40 minutes off the charger before it dies on me. I go to the T-Mobile store, and they tell me that I had to wait until March before I could get a new phone, otherwise I'd have to pay full price. The crappiest phones they showed me were like $200, and I'm talking the phones were real garbage. Meanwhile all the phones I wanted were like $400-600. So I realized, it only costs $200 to get out of my contract and like $100 for a new phone provider contract, with a brand new phone (this was something that took place 4 months ago). Meaning I'm saving between $100-300 bucks. Anyone know of a GOOD provider that doesnt try and screw their costumers??

Where does a phone company "draw the line" on early upgrades - They pretty much have to stick to their dates, although if you have been a customer for many years, most will give a little wiggle room - I'd try calling T-Mobile, ask to talk to customer retentions - Since you are only a month away you might get some satisfaction if you tell them you want to cancel your contract to go to a different provider.

Your other option, go on ebay, you can probably find a replacement battery for your phone for around $10-$15, shipping.included.
