Of course they wouldn't lower my bill. So don't give me that crap about this $10 fee being because I will use more data (when I already supposedly have unlimited data anyway).
I don't know about you, but I easily use 4x the amount of data on the TP2 than I did on the Mogul.

And if you go back to using the Mogul, your bill won't go down 1 dime, right?

no, but why do that? your webpages will load slower! $10 is worth not having to wait those precious extra seconds of your life.. they add up each and every day.. (they add up to exactly $10 a month)

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

It's a $439 phone.
They have used poor choices of words & analogies.
Like we haven't done that in our careers & profession.
Otherwise, still don't understand why ppl keep being so fixated on the $10/mos & then pronouncing that they are still going to get the phone despite the upcharge.

Spiting your hand to bite your nose I guess.
Weak backbone is another analogy.

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

It's for 4G.
It's for subsidizing the phone.

Who cares? You either pay the price or you don't get the phone.
This lobbying, whining, crying, b1tching, threatening is plain getting away from what this board is about.

Sheep or not. There isn't going to be a prize for being right that's for sure.

Too much energy to spend for being the class wind machine & then still getting the phone.
Back bone be damned & principles in the recycle bin for use as hypocrisy on another day.

Too much energy for little return.
Feel free to skip these discussions if you want. Nobody is making you read them or post in them. Obviously a lot of us feel strongly about this as it's the #1 thing being discussed on just about every Sprint or Evo related message board.

And "pay the proce or don't get the phone" aren't set in stone as the only 2 options. Like I said, there is rumor of an internal meeting at Sprint this week to discuss what to do with these fees.

Sprint went out of their way to generate hype for this phone. They see their hype being destroyed by this stupis fee. They will weigh their options and decide if they would rather hit a home run with this device or possibly have another failure of Palm Pre or Samsung Instinct proportions.

I can see it now.

Dan Hesse: "We have listened to everyone's concerns regarding the $10 add-on and we understand your frustration. We are excited to announce that we will lower this add-on fee to a more acceptable price of $9.99. Thank you for choosing Sprint. Enjoy your Evo 4G!"
