I found this Oct 1st thing interesting as well. I was searching for the Russ McGuire email so I could show my Fiance the new plans we would have to get if I upgraded phones since I cant get the FF $30 I have on an Android phone.

After reading a few things elsewhere I tracked all the way to...

http://www.phonenews.com/sprint-conf...changes-12268/

http://mcguireslaw.com/2009/07/24/ps...erything-plus/
(Keep reading, it isn't just about the Pre)

So for those who have NOT switched yet, but really want to.... Hold on just a little longer. I have my TP2, but MAN do I want the Epic from Samsung. I just was dreading the change.

My wish may be coming true of SERO again

Actually it's the other way around. The people with the "free BIS" are the ones that are getting the calls/emails about the options to upgrade. My wife has a BB Tour with the $10 addon for SERO on my account and I have yet to get any contact from Sprint.

i forget if it was this thread or the other SERO thread that a question was asked regarding being able to go back to $30/mo if you back to a non-iconic device on the SERO. looks like it was asked and mr mcguire answered. and it was a no. from what i read in his blog...they're calling the $40/$50 plans premium SERO/FnF plans because of the anytime any mobile and sprint nav.

Considering the lack of available phone options for the standard SERO plan, I really can't imagine anyone wanting to revert back to it once they've upgraded to an Android device or something comparable.

yeah but different strokes for different folks. like me for example. my SERO line barely gets any use. because i use it as a back up line just in case something happens to my phone on the ED plan. but other than that, sprint is getting $30 + tax from me for me not using it most of the time. why am i holding on to it? because it makes sense for me to just pay $30 for a backup line instead of $50/mo getting the Epic or Evo on it. that's why for me personally...the limited option on the phone choices isn't that big of a deal. i can always put my tp2 on it and it will be good enough for me.

but having this premium SERO plan available is a very good thing though.

If you only have a SERO plan for a backup line, why not just get a pre-paid phone instead? That way you don't have recurring monthly charges. As for me, my SERO line is my main line but I use my phone more for internet and multimedia than actual phone calls. lol

i had a go-phone before. and the SERO was a lot cheaper. its still cheaper than boost and virgin and metro.

According to Russ, you *can* switch back:

BJ and Andrew - In asking today, it appears I had misunderstood an earlier note. Customer will be able to downgrade from SERO Premium back to SERO.
BJ - Yes, you can switch from a 4G device back to a 3G device and drop the extra $10.

Now that sounds good.
