Re: $10 is really bothering you? Check this out.

Also, who's to say sprint wouldn't charge $10 if they had the incredible? Sprint has no other phone in this caliber.

Re: $10 is really bothering you? Check this out.

With this "uncapped unlimited" internet, has anyone actually been shut down for using more than 5GB of data/month through their phone? I'm not looking for "my best friend's cousin's girlfiend..." type stuff. I used to see on the Mogul forums, and prior to the TP2 release, people used their phones for more than 5GB/month, and never even got the first warning.

#2: I'm not the shut up and go down quietly type. Maybe the complaining will help, maybe it won't. But one thing is for sure, I am going down swinging. You're out of your mind if you don't think Sprint has cronies reading all these message boards and execs discussing this fee every single day. There have been many examples over the course of history when consumers took action like this and the company caved. So you can pay your fee like a good little sheep if you want. But don't come in here trying to put us down for protesting this ridiculous fee. My service isn't changing, so my bill shouldn't be changing either.
Your service is changing though, your total monthly data RX is going to skyrocket--even at 3G speeds. It seems that everything around this phone is going to be data intensive. Why wouldn't Sprint charge you more for overages? I don't know what the data RX the average person uses for the life of their phone but I have a Mogul that's about 18 months old and has over 6GB on it that's about 350 MB a month average. Now I get an EVO and my data RX shoots to 1GB a month, that's 18GB in 18 months--12 additional GB. That's a lot of bandwidth used, if Sprint wants to charge more now so that it can keep up with the technology we should let them. My understanding of the purpose of this fee is to uncap any excessive data usage that WILL come with this phone. I'm not thrilled with it either but I accept it.

It's time to piss or get off the pot people. Sprint is trying to prepare it's network for a boatload of data, let them cut corners now and we will soon find out how the iPhone people feel in New York and other densely areas when their 3G speed is cut so bad by overpopulation that they get 300 Baud on their iPhones.

Bottom line is this, as long as the technology works as promised, then the fee is justified. If we start sharing problems that AT&T has with overpopulation then this $10 fee starts to become a problem with overbilling for useless services.

It's a soft cap and they don't just shut you off becouse you go over. That's a disscussion for another thread

How many times does this need to be said?

The $10 charge is NOT because it's a 4G phone.

sucks for them, they'll be paying a fee and won't be getting their webpages to load faster.
