I agree...all the complaining was what brought on this 3g smartphone fee. But I don't blame the complainers though. I do blame Sprint for being a$$4atz about this. Instead of not squeezing some, they decide to squeeze everyone? This will give them a short-term boost, but a long-term churn rate that they'll be feeling for years.

In the long run though people will accept it as they did the "Everything" plans even though they were more expensive..as long as sprint is cheaper then the competition even by 5$ they will keep floating their edge..

Well the thing that kinda makes it funny was the "everything" plans...it is kinda silly since the claim for the simply everything plans was to "simplify" things and have universal plans for all phones straight forward...but given time it was obvious they'd throw this curve ball into the mix >.>
