so like i said, unless people start going out of their way to tether with the Evo (which is what the $29.99 hotspot is for) you can't say its going to eat through so much more data that it justifies an extra charge. so why should i have to pay extra when i'm probably going to use the same amount of data as i did on the hero, like the majority of people probably will

you're wrong, i'm positive people will consume more data and sprint knows this. you're just being naive saying you won't. If you have your tp2 and a computer in front of you, you will obviuosly type on your computer to threads like these, with the evo you will definitely consider writing the response from you're phone because it will be almost just as fast. Anybody who is using a tp2 WILL use more data when they get their evo. You will be downloading apps, that aren't available to you, now, so much more will be opened up to you that will cause more data consumption.
