How do you order a pizza, or call the barber, make a dentist appointment, etc?

I pretty much only talk to people on landlines. If you have a cell, chances are I will text way more often than I call.

We all know that's what the phone at work is for. You can order pizza on the web.

I know you can order Dominos, Pizza Hut, and all the other crappy places on the web (and you can even text in your order too), but all the best places don't work like that.

$10 isnt for 4g. It works like this. We have a superior product but we dont have the capabilities to give that product to all of our customers yet. So we will charge a premium to keep the numbers down until the we have the power to mantain a reliable 4g line to all customers. And by that time it will just cost 25$ for internet regardless or whatever it cost now plus $10.

I mean maybe I am wrong but that sounds like basic economics to me. Its obvious sprints 4g isnt exactly large right now heck its only available in some area's. Its not a pay to play tax its a pay if you want it tax. Regardless its something you will either pay because you dont argue with sprint or something you will get out of because you either didnt get the phone or a sprint rep got a cookie that day and decided you didnt need to pay it.

Please stop with the "I'm using just as much bandwidth on my TP2" if you buy a sports car(EVO) you will not drive it the same way you do a sedan(TP2) and if you don't NEED a sports car and don't want to pay extra for the premium gas then stick with the accord! Also your behavior changes as the capabilities of the phone change. when I had a dumb phone i didn't surf the net at all now i do it a lot! when you take pictures worth taking you'll be sharing them more. the EVO will change the way you use your phone. and invariably increase your bandwidth consumption.

This is wrong on so many levels...

The TP2 is not a Sedan. It's last year's model sports car, made by the same company. It has a big screen (not as big as the Evo, but still bigger than most other smartphones and has the same screen resolution as the Evo), good web browsers, TV out, and a decent camera.

Is it as nice as the Evo? No. But that's because it's older, not because it isn't a data centric device. It's like getting last year's top notch car and comparing it to this year's.

I have no doubt that I will use the same amount of data on the Evo as I do on the TP2 (until I get 4G in my area, that is).

Since when can you not do any of those things on a cell? That uses what.. all of maybe 50 minutes a month?

naw it's not last years sports car it's a car who the best feautres, I would still consider the evo a sports car over the tp2 cuz it has a hd cam, hdmi out, 2 cams, 1ghz processor, and more. SO i'm not gonna lie and act like my tp2 is just gettin old, it's being surpassed in all honesty...

The Evo is better than the TP2, no doubt. But all of the features you just mentioned don't have anything to do with using more data. The Evo does everything better, but the TP2 still does everything the Evo does. The only thing the Evo does that the TP2 doesn't as far as data is concerned is the video chat. And even then, I have been using Qik for years (and use it all the time on my TP2).

I agree that the Evo is this year's sports car, no question. But when the TP2 came out last year, it was a sports car, not a sedan.
