Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES

[AZTECHKA]

For most of us who are on 4G phones... That 10 dollar fee isn't even going to be an issue as we already agreed to pay the fee.
So... I'm not even worried about the fee.

I'm an 11 year Sprint vet, $10 fee doesn't bother me at all. I've NEVER had a problem with them either, I'm rollin' with em' til wheels fall off!

The only 'problem' I have is that the original purpose of the $10 was for 4g data... so I'd be pissed if I dont have a 4g enabled device. For all intents and purposes this is just an extra $10 padded onto your next plan or upgrade once you are eligible for either. That's the part that sucks...

I cant lie, on paper that sounds awesome. But something that never sits right with me is how google is always playing the "carrier middle-man" role in all this.

If they want Google Voice to become a national carrier then cool, but if not, dont give me all the quasi-carrier schtick when it's convenient for you.

The original plan for the nexus one was that it be google's first attempt to undermine and infiltrate ALL the major carriers with an unlocked phone running THEIR OS. That was their opp to jump into the game with both feet, but they balked.

Since they balked i'd rather see them let the real carriers be carriers, and for them to fallback with these kinds of moves.

*PS I love android so this is by no means an anti-google post.

no problem . for those not bending over for sprint, this is a good way to get back at the 3rd largest carrier and their "$10 because we're a broke ass network" smartphone charge.

pretty stupid in my opinion unless you are not in contract and google voice doesnt support mms.
