$399 = $40 cheaper, and that's assuming you you don't continue past your 2 year contract in which case cash up front is an even better deal.
I decided I'm not buying EVO anyway, no matter how bad I want it.
For me the math is even MORE broken.
I would have to buy 2 (wife always upgrades with me).
Forced ED plan +$10 would double my existing 2-phone retention plan from $75 to $150 a month.
$1800 more over two years. No thanks. EVO is not worth that.
Would I pay $399 cash each for 2 EVOs if I could keep my current plan?
Yes, it would save me $1000 over 2 years.
I'm waiting it out until I can provision this phone on my existing account.
I give it less than 6 months. And almost for sure when I am out of contract in December 2010.

If you don't have an Everything plan, you will never be able to get this phone on your account. You might as well start looking at other carriers now, because in 6 months it will be the same situation.
You might be able to get it without the $10 fee in 6 months, but you will still need an everything plan.
