Look at the forums at the number of people with SERO who were told they can't get this phone or that phone because of the plan. Data is data doesn't matter what you call it is supposed to be unlimited. When I went to upgrade to the 6700 I had a rep on the phone tell me I was lying and EVDO was available and I would have to pay the $30 a month for data. I finally (convinced) a rep that EVDO was not available and it did take another year for us to get it. So they let me keep my $10 unlimited internet. When Evo drops I promise there will be a charge or a new tier of plans you have to sign up for. Its all about being informed as a consumer before you walk into a store and get sold a line of nonsense. Stop being sheeple!

This is exactly my hang up... I will be OK with paying an additional data fee (when) 4g comes to my area but not until then, and I am so far off the beaten path I highly doubt 4g will get to me for at least a year or more... The largest city to me is New Orleans but even that city is 60 miles away they don't have 4g yet anyway. In comparo to the entire U.S. very very few places still have 4g yet, I just can't see the masses paying for the additional 4g service just because the phone can provide it but only 1/8 of Sprint subscribers can actually use it???
