I hope you are correct, but you are wrong about the way EVDO went down. Sprint required a plan upgrade for the PPC-6700 (their first EVDO device). The old plans vefore that were "Vision" plans, and they rtequired an upgrade to "Power Vision" plans when activating the 6700. And yes, those plans did cost more. I remember there were several tiers of power vision plans, and the cheapest one was like $5 more than the old Vision plan. I also remember it was a big deal because the power vision plan included unlimited picture mail, and the 6700 didn't even work with picture mail (without installing a hack ported over from the Verizon version of the 6700).
I remember this pretty clearly, as I upgraded from the 6600 to the 6700 at that time (like I'm sure most of this board did).
