boe, i see why you were so snippy with me over at pdaphone...
you are a long time sprint user yes? have you called account services and ASKED them what they can do to keep you as a customer?? see what they can offer you. if its not what you like, then cancel and move to verizon which seems to be one of your top carriers.
is verizon the better company? thats up to individual taste. in some areas ATT or tmobile may be better than verizon... YMMV..
however, as i stated to you on pdaphone, its a tough sell to get the evo on the legacy plan, so why not just stop defending your decisions on why you dont like the evo, contact sprint, if they aren't talking your language, tell them good bye and move on.org...
