I sucessfully activated my TP2 online under this very plan, so you don't need to be on an everything data plan for WinMo phones but you do need to have an unlimited data add-on.

I too just bought a Touch Pro2 on an old F&F plan
All of us Old Sero users are technically on a F&F as well, however if i understand right this persons problem is that he is already on one of the new "Everything" branded plans. There is no way sprint is gonna let him switch back to an older plan now, even though he is such a long term loyal customer. The new "everything" plans charge alot more for that the f&f's for essentially the same thing. But this guys problem isnt really a old versus new thing it is a data plan vs a non data plan and since sub zero is an employee no one know better than him that a data plan is not required for the tp2.
@Scottharris When i bought my touch pro 2 i met some resistance as well. they told me no tp2 on my current plan. I assured them that i had been using windows mobile on my touch for years on my plan and that the touch pro 2 had to be allowed as well.
edit: after rereading your post it kinda sounds like you somehow already accepted the new plans? and that is why your bill went up. If that is the case i dont think sprint will let you out of them.
edit: as it has been said before you dont need to worry about tethering as long as you can funnel data through your phone they guys here and over at xda-developers can make tethering work.
Not sure how helpful it is but i activated my tp2 through the sprint website by just entering a few numbers from my box so if you could just get the phone maybe you could put it on your plan yourself
