We present experimental and numerical micromagnetic data on the effect of spin momentum transfer in current perpendicular to the plane spin valves. Starting from a configuration with orthogonal free and pinned layer magnetizations, the free layer magnetization exhibits abrupt current induced switching that is qualitatively consistent with the spin torque model. When operating the spin valve as a field sensor, spin transfer can produce a change in resistance that mimics an effective magnetic field and induce magnetic instability that requires a larger bias field in order to stabilize the device.
