<p>Sprint is apparently going to fall in line with Verizon and AT&T in raising its Early Termination Fee on "Advanced Devices." On September 9th, it appears that Sprint will raise the ETF to $350, which matches what <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/ReturnPolicy.shtml">Verizon charges</a> and is slightly higher than <a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/articles-resources/early-term-fees.jsp">AT&T's $325 fee</a>. The change would leave T-Mobile as the only major US carrier with a <a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions&print=true">smartphone ETF of $200</a>. As with all carriers, Sprint's new charge will be pro-rated as your two-year contract winds down. <i>PhoneNews</i> seems to have a statement from Sprint that puts the finger on the increased cost of smartphones as the root cause. <i>SprintFeed</i> also has an internal screenshot confirming that the change is coming.
