I honestly don't see Sprint trying to make people switch to different and more expensive plans if they are already a customer and have an Everything plan. With 4G only being in 25 markets, they don't have the kind of footprint needed for leveraging their customers into a forced plan switch with a greater cost.

They are probably just making new account types for the EVO (and other upcoming 4G handsets) so that once they have a much larger geographic 4G offering, they can raise the price on those plans, if they so choose. Otherwise, how can they require a more expensive plan for users like me who live in an area where 4G is not even slated for implementation through the end of this year?

We only have a few weeks to wait but I am confident that Sprint is smart enough to know that a forced plan change to more expensive plan for existing customers who would see no real benefit from the plan change would be a dreadful mistake.
