Have you considered calling up retentions and see what, if anything, they can do for you if you agree to drop the SERO goodness and sign on for two more years? One may argue that you're being asked to pay 3x/mo for basically the same thing you have now, at least for negotiating purposes They may just laugh at you, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that Sprint is actively trying to convert the SERO subs to more profitable (or profitable, period) plans.

I wonder if the inflated $350AR TP2 price (latest and greatest SERO device) and the bargain-of-a-price $200 Evo price are intentional parts of their strategy to increase ARPU.
i said that months ago, that it made no sense that the tp2 was 350.00 while the hero and moment were much cheaper.
I keep considering the EVO but for me, I'd have to add another line at 20.00/mo, then add the 10.00/month premium data fee, so 30.00 on top of my 1500 SE plan with 33% discount.
