On the flip side, Sprint doesn't have 4G coverage hardly anywhere. I don't see how you can justify Sprint charging everyone for 4G, and in the same post say T-Mobile coverage is a joke.

T-Mobile has more HSPA+ coverage than Sprint has Wimax coverage.
They're not charging the $10 for 4G. They're charging $10 for the simple fact that the Evo is such a multimedia extensive and capable device, that they're charging the $10 to help w/ the fact that they're most likely going to see a HUGE boom in data usage when people use the HTC Evo than when they use other devices. Right now, I do BARELY any web browsing on my TP2 or use too many other applications because they tend to load slowly, or are far from perfect. I love my Tp2, don't get me wrong. But give me the hardware of the HTC Evo 4g, and I can almost promise you i'll just about quadruple (if not more) the amount of data I use in a month. Sprint's just setting a buffer.

If you don't like the $10 fee, don't get the Evo. At least, that's my motto. My plan plus the $10 is still best value for what I get vs any other company in the united states.
