all EVO's can be rooted relatively easily right?
has anyone who has used a droid x global or droid incredible or samsung epic or similar phone been disappointed with their EVO's speed?
YES all EVO's can be rooted relatively easy. No new phone that release in the near future is going to piss off any EVO owner. And last... what makes you think the EVO is slower than a Droid X, HTC Incredible, or an Epic? Don't get caught up in the hype. The EVO is not slower by any means. Put an EVO beside one of those phones and do your own comparison.

I was on the original SERO 500 and called Sprint to upgrade to SERO Premium this afternoon. They were going to wait until the next billing cycle to do so but I told them I was going to upgrade my phone today and needed it rolled out today. She said no problem and did so.

I then spent an hour or so at RS while they kept trying to upgrade me like regular accounts even though I informed them that they would need to call. Needless to say they finally called it in to Sprint and the rep activated the Evo for them.

Out the door the phone was $104 after tax. They are running a special this week in store: $199 for new plans/upgrades - $100 when you trade in ANY working phone. I traded in a 3+ year old T-Mobile SDA. I also have to pay Sprint an $18 "upgrade" fee.

Here's a shortcut.....have them call 1-700-FOR-HELP to get you going with Sprint and SERO. Good luck!
But remember that unless you buy the new phone and change your plan ON your billing cycle date, you WILL be pleasantly surprised with a "month-in-advance" on your very next bill! Meaning you get charged for a full months price plan on top of your normal bill with your current price plan. Not to mention activation fee and extra bs sprint fees and taxes. I'm just letting the upgrade eligible people out there know. If you're a new Sprint customer then you're fine. Try to upgrade ON your monthly billing cycle date and you can avoid this nightmare. If not expect a double bill around the corner. Supposedly it is prorated but it never appears that way when it has happened to me.
