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.
As for your TP2, you are not using it for the purposes that it is marketed for. breaking the terms of service, and using the EVO the way its intended are completely different topics.

evo is not the first phone with the forward facing cam, so i cant speculate how or if it acted differently on say an ATT TP1, which did have a FFC on board..cdma ones did not..
yes its a lil shady... your talking about youtube and qik.. those arent Sprint Branded things.... maybe if they made Sprint TV-DTV capable or something.. then id be paying for something sprint put together... but sprint has nothing to do with qik or youtube... if they didnt come on the device already,their both perfectly downloadable via their websites.. and have been for a long time...
my real issue i think about it is, i bet if you take count of what state the devices were all sold in VS the amount of people that can actually use 4G(now or in the next 6-9 months)... i bet you get a number a low percentage
go here,
http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/pop...ge_popup.shtml use the drop down.. its in 11 out of 50 states.. thats only 22% coverage.. but they wanna charge 100% of their customers.. hows that NOT shady??
you guys can argue the hardware all you want... but if everything technical your saying is true, than you wont even be able to fully utilize all the super spec'd out stuff without a 4G connection or better for it to run anyways..
so now not only are you not in a 4G market, but all that sweet hardware isnt gonna perform like it should without 4G or you home network/good local wifi spot.... yet were gonna get charged like we are in 4G and that we can utilize the hardware fully...
ok, im done.. im getting the phone anyways... and ive had the 27% off thing a really long time already, so i guess i cant make it any cheaper than it is anyways... you guys know how it is.. shady stuff is, well shady.. and we always feel like were being taken advantage of... guess ive hit Sprint for sooooooo much more than a stupid 10 bucks a month charge their trying to hit me for.. so i can live with it..
