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: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2361784,00.asp this is atleast SPRINTs plan anyways*** - pay attention to this line in the article too "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."

I did mean HD and even though its not available for all videos the possibility is still there for ones that do. Also Qik with the dual cameras can be something to brag about. Not to mention what developers will come up with for third party apps. My point is merely that Sprint's reason (not necessarily my own) for the extra charge is NOT for 4G, it is because of the high bandwidth this phone is capable of using. Therefore Hesse was truthful about not charging for 4G, the EVO just HAPPENS to be 4G enabled. Now whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you. which is why I said that it will be interesting to see what happens when a less capable 4G enabled phone comes out.
