The bottom line is sprint cant force you to change your current plan but what they can do is offer a new kick ass product but the only way to get that new kick ass product is to sign up for a new plan, its called a business model and a very good one at that when you consider how great the evo will probably be. Its not like sprint is flipping the switch on all tp2's so that they can't work on the network any more now forcing you to get a newer phone with a newer plan, I am sure you will be able to use your tp2 for as looooong as you want on your current plan, right? Also, its not like sprint is the only cell phone provider in the country and they hold a monopoly forcing whatever they wanted down your throat, you have a choice, if you have a problem with it then go to tmobile, go to att, or go to verizon. Its like me buying a new car, it does all the same things as my current car does but it looks better and it does it faster and if i want to take that new car home I have to agree to the new terms and if I dont agree to those terms I can go to another dealership or I can just keep the car I have. But the bottom line is eventually you gonna have to pay to play.

Thank You! I Completely Agree. You hit the nail on the head! The other posters were insisting that it was because they were providing you with more service features when in fact it is because they want you to pay more. I would guess they looked around and saw how much more At&T and Verizon were charging, and said it's time we start charging more!
