I just sent the following to Sprint CS but I doubt it will get far:

I have been eagerly awaiting the HTC EVO 4G since the day of its announcement, but recent pricing information has caused me to reconsider my purchasing decision.
I find it appalling that Sprint wishes to charge me an additional $10/month just for the privilege of owning their newest phone. I guess paying $70/month for the Everything Data plan just isn't enough. Instead, I'll have to pay Sprint $80/month (that's $240 over the two-year contract) for THE SAME EXACT PLAN that others are paying $70/month for. Since my area probably won't see 4G service until next year at least, this means I'm paying $10 extra for absolutely nothing. Way to deceive your customers: that $200 price tag is more like a $540 price tag, when you consider the additional $10/month.
I am not alone. Note this topic - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=120920 - on PPCGeeks, a smartphone enthusiast forum consisting of hundreds of EVO fans awaiting this phone's release. Excitement has turned to anger and annoyance in a matter of minutes after the additional charges were announced. At this rate, I might as well switch to Verizon: they're no longer much more expensive, and they have better coverage anyway.

Sprint executives must be stupid. They just turned what could have been an iPhone-killer into a niche device that will only sell to geeks who live in 4G areas. Nice going, Sprint. |
I swear this made me laugh LOL...Yet true haha
