Between this and the TP2 overclocking (I haven't checked in for a while) I'm very happy right now. I never expected to be able to get an Android phone with my SERO plan and I was actually at a crossroads between sticking it out with the TP2 "forever" or biting the bullet and paying for a normal full-price plan.

I don't completely agree with nerys but I do see where he's coming from. It does seem like the extra $20 is based primarily on the popularity of the Android phones and not for a "technical" reason, though I'm no network engineer.

However, I'm looking at it this way - I have been unbelievably happy with Sprint in the 3 years that I've been with them (I know that's nothing compared to most), so I feel loyal towards the company. Every time I read about their business, it seems like they're not doing so hot. This worries me because 1) I like them as a company and 2) I like having my awesome SERO plan.

For me personally, I'm completely fine with paying $20 more a month if it means I can have the greatest new phones and I know it's helping out Sprint just a teeny tiny bit more. Is it my (or our) responsibility to "rescue" Sprint with these extra fees, no. But would I rather see Sprint go under, and then go back to paying out the @$$ with Verizon or AT&T? HELL NO.
