but i could walk into a sprint store in vegas and say oh im on my dads family plan and hes in SLC but i just moved down here and want this phone? and then i know this may be a unique situation but then i could provide them with my brothers henderson address, would they still restrict the phone because of where the plan is based or would they make the sell and take their money?

The $10 shouldn't even matter cause half the stuff isn't up to snuff right?
I call it the way I see it - if the platform is soo bad, what's the phone for then?
You make abused spouse syndrome look tame by comparison.

You seem to be just making this up as you go along, and then pretending it's really my argument. Straw man...

Sprint isn't perfect, and if I don't immediately leave them then it makes me an abused spuse? LOL, whatever man. I'm not a fanboy. I don't have to pretend something is absolutely perfect in every imaginable way to support it.

everything i said about rates on other carriers is fact.
now as for sprint, assuming the $10 charge is for 4g or its because the phone is just so awesome (because we know its not for subsidy because those purchasing the phone outright aren't exempt) either way, phones down the road are only going to get better and better, no manufacturer in their right mind is going to try launching a 3G only smartphone on sprint because why would anyone buy it. the Evo's start price of 200 is reasonable and is only going to go down when we get closer to Q4 so if a brand new phone launches with no 4G, why not just get the Evo? and its not like specs are going to back down, we're finally to a point where Snapdragon is so common a manufacturer isn't going to make a new phone without unless theyre trying to specifically target a budget market but then again the Evo will probably be 100/150 by Q4 and we know that there isn't going to be a single Wp7 device running anything less than Snapdragon, so hardware is essentially only going up

so yeah i guess a lot of this and the last post were speculation but it all seems reasonable to me
then again you didn't comment on argument just presentation, right

but if anything i've said does seem unreasonable, make your case, i listen to arguments and if its a good one, i'll change my opinion

I'm not trying to be difficult so please don't take this as such but I agree that they are jacking up the rates because they can, not because they will lose money if they don't.

I just don't care about $10 especially when I know I'll rape them back in over usage!

I've broken the TOS for free for over 7+ years now without penalty, I can give back $10 a month now to be more on the up and up. I started tethering with a Samsung A620 and haven't looked back yet. I can definitely understand if some of you were more "legal" then I and had to pay this overcharge for under usage, but shame on you for not being more informed with less morals. I will always make sure I get what I pay for and then some...

And it won't ever end until either the phone is released and people stop caring about the fee, or Sprint gets rid of it. Neither will probably happen. haha
