Sprint has NOT been very forthcoming about their rollout dates. Seems very odd about that.

And on top of that, we don't even have 4G out here yet. We are one of the cities that got added to the updated list or whatever, but as of right now I'm looking at a $40 increase in my bill and not getting any upgrades in service- only upgrading the phone.

I love the phone, but $40 per month on top of my already over $200 bill is some significant cheese to commit to for 2 years.

From my understanding the $10 is not for 4G so your argument is invalid. The $10 dollars is for the theoretical high volume of data that EVO users will consume. Hopefully the $10 goes into more rapid rollout of the 4G network.

Bottom line, if you don't like the $10, don't get the EVO.

Not $10 * (# of phones on plan). Granted, this is coming from Sprint customer care, so I could ask the question again, and get another answer, but I just wanted to pass along what I was told by Sprint.

IIRC, I think he said all 4 people on his plan were getting EVOs.

If that's the case....not much I can say. The way he worded it, it sounded like if you add an Evo to a family plan, all lines must pay, regardless of being an Evo, or other phone. Wanted to clear that up for others who may have read it the same way I did.
