Considering that there will be a data spike when the iPhone comes to Sprint...I don't see the unlimited data as a permanent thing for Sprint. Case in point...check out the Premier program getting scraped just ahead of 2 HUGE launches...check out the 30 day return program...JUST ahead of the Epic Touch launch.

I love my EVO...love what it can do...and love the things WE can make it do. I am a gadget hound and just HAVE to have the latest and greatest. Am sitting put until the everything "new" is launched...and will upgrade from the EVO around DEC. by that point in time...the iPhone (4or5), Galaxy would both be launched and early adopter bugs would have been worked out. Maybe by that time...we'll have root and custom ROMs ready for the Galaxy.

Well the 30 day no risk think they introduced right before the Evo launch..its point was to grab attention away from the iphone so that people at least "try it"..now that sprint themselves have an iphone (which if you look back sprint has spent the last 4 years trying to create an iphone..Instinct, Palm Pre, Evo)..but lowering return rates to 14 days and shafting their loyal customers in the wake of how they are doing financially is suicide..

I know from doing business is that whenever you have something bad to announce..you gotta pair it up with something good to draw away attention and lessen the backlash...in the past I have seen this strategy work so well to the point where no one even cared about the bad thing as long as the good thing is presented well..
