No you keep changing the comparison.
Your trying to compare the gas to the phone. that is an invalid comparison.
the comparison is GAS TO DATA
Charging more "just to use" a newer phone is the SAME AS charging more "JUST TO USE" the newer car.
Neither sprint nor the gas company had any financial input into the purchase of the phone or the car.
They both simply PROVIDE what the Phone/Car USES.
Now if you come up with a Diesel Powered car you can not complain that it costs a different amount (you can but thats another subject all together so lets not go their)
Your car uses a DIFFERENT FUEL.
just like the EPIC uses a DIFFERENT service* (4g)
A good example is the BB 8330 and the BB 8530
Virtually IDENTICAL phones. yet one you can use and the other you can not JUST because its newer. Must pay more for its newness. The higher price of buying the hardware is not enough sprint wants to charge you MORE for the EXACT same service your getting now on nearly identical hardware.
Justify that.
