It'll be interesting to see if a lower end 4G phone comes out and has the same $10 charge.

stock youtube app, has an HQ(high quality) setting already.. and if you meant HD, i say NAY.. youtube can have HD playback, but if its not an HD shot vid, it wont matter..
and qik may be preloaded, but ive been using it on winmo since my mogul like 3yrs ago.. qik is old and certainly nothing new or to brag about..
so neither of those reasons are really acceptable as to why were getting charged..
my TP2 is abandwith hog if i want it to be... i torrent and run xbox360 at the same time.. im chewing a ton of bandwith while im doing that.. doesnt cost 10 extra bucks a month either....
**all carriers, starting in the next 2 yrs will be doing away with MINUTES on plans, and itll all be in GB's.... youll have a certain amount of GB's available to you based on your plan.. found here:

"Sprint's new 4G service, Hesse added, will also let Sprint offer faster speeds and more capacity at the same price. He and Clearwire chief executive William Morrow both pushed WiMAX as well as mobile data in all sorts of data."
