Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES

[Dr.8820]

let's do something better: you keep paying $10 extra bucks and putt along at sprint speed, i won't and bolt across the web . don't get mad at me because sprint decided to charge extra and you fell for it....my 4.3" snapdragoned device (that came out before the evo) didn't cost me anything extra. as soon as anyone from this thread who's defending the charge trashes sprint later on about slow 4g or paying extra, i'll be there to wipe the tears with posts from this thread !

LOL... You don't hear me crying...
I have a laptop and a desktop if I want to "bolt across the web" And this machine here at work that's connected via a T1 line...
No need to "bolt" on my phone... I just use it to look stuff up and to get my music fix. You can't tell me that my music is going to sound better on any other network. The 10 bucks is no sweat off my back. And I don't have to have a lame pink T logo on my phone to boot.
Seriously though... Call me... We have soooooo much to catching up to do.
Or can you deal with the fees?

lol.

Following that logic...

I have a house phone with unlimited minutes, and another phone at my work desk.

I just use my cell phone mostly for messaging, data, apps, gps, camera, and occasionally a voice call.

Let me call you from my landline and leave the call connected for a week. Lets see if that $10 extra you are spending is worth it.

Again, I have an Evo. Just pointing out that your logic does not work for everyone.

Does your Home Phone have Free unlimited Long Distance??

You all need to get with the Times. If you have or can get Pick 3/5, 5 Faves( T-Mo, I think,) or Sprint to Home added to your plan, you can have Unlimited anytime anyphone minutes!

Call my Google Voice# that connects to My Cell and I can leave it connected all Month and still pay the same for my Sero plan with Free Sprint to Home.

Get one while you can, There are no local Google Voice numbers left where I live!!

It works for me... Call me at work.
Better yet... Call me on the 800 number... I don't pay that bill...

The logic works if you stay within the boundaries.

I use my phone for the same things... But faster internet is not that important to me. It I was using it as my sole internet device... I may have a reason to get faster service. I can connect 8 devices to my EVO... Have I? NOPE... I used to connect my netbook to my TP2 and I never had an issue going on the internet then?
Internet speed is extremely important when moving large packets or a large number of packets. I have a 16 gb card... That's my limit.
What's yours?

Seriously... What are you guys doing with your phone that requires you such speed?

Of course I have free long distance. Doesn't everyone these days?

I use my phone internet for all the same things I do on my home computer. Plus video calls, mms, justin tv uploads, slingbox viewing, and streaming radio.

Not me, I have a $7/month free incoming, 15 calls outgoing home phone line I'm thinking of canceling because we never use it. I can also use google voice to initiate a call to it, making it unlimited incoming our outgoing.So actually, I guess I do!

I have unlimited everything on my Sprint cell.

Me too... It works great too...
Maybe it's just because I'm old enough to have experienced the internet at 1900 baud then 9600 baud then 52k then 56k then...
You get my point...
My phone does everythink I ask it to do and it does it great... And I'm in San Diego where I don't even have 4G... Go figure...

At least I'm not rocking an iPhone. My brothers in law both have to switch on their wifi every time they come to my house... There's free wifi there and their 3G is nowhere to be found.

I watch youtube videos as almost as fast as they do on wifi without needing to turn on wifi.

I can just imagine what 4G will be like.

I'll be able to torrent files faster I guess.

I never use wifi. Sprint 4G, while not as fast as T-Mobile, still gets the job done.
