lbcoder, to which other US nationwide GSM provided do your think you
could move a Tmobile G1 or mytouch and retain 3G data capability?  To
which other provider could you move a Verizon Blackberry?   An AT&T
iphone 3G and retain its 3G data?

I agree with you that lack of portability is a problem, but it's a
problem with basically all US carriers, not just Sprint.

Nominally you would think it's only policies preventing you from
moving a phone between Sprint & Verizon and simlocks between AT&T and
Tmobile, but to the best of my knowledge the 3g data offerings are
incompatible even where the voice or low-rate data might work.
