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

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.

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.

I sent an email to sprint about family plans. The response was only the Evo phones will be charged $10/mo. So, if you are the only one with an Evo, you only have an additional $10/mo to pay. 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.

You have a rough unorthodox answer but it is correct...lol

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

That is the same info I am receiving so I believe it to be correct.

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.

Only the line with the Evo will have to pay the $10 and if you get 4 Evo's you pave to pay $40 add-on per month.

I have 4 Touch Pro 2s on my family plan right now. If I get 1 Evo, I have to get 4. So it's $40 per month extra for me. And again, this is on top of an already over $200 bill.

That's for MODs to decide. Certainly stating so in the thread isn't helping.
