I am not saying I am going back to the Mogul. I am saying this $10 fee is obviously not because the Evo loads pages faster, lol. If it was, then the Mogul would have a cheaper data plan than the TP2.

Or you could Take your Windows Mobile phone with you, Activate it, and use FREE Wifi tethering. While you wonder, "Why am I paying all extra money just to have this phone?"

How do you know none of us on here can change it? If Sprint knows enough people are pissed about it they might switch things up.

have you been to buzzaboutwireles (sprint's official forums)? Everyone over there is pissed about it and there is a rumor that Sprint has a meeting this week to discuss other options (like including the hotspot feature with that $10) because of how pissed everyone is.

Or he can root his Evo, and use FREE Wifi tethering.

I can't answer that question right now.

And I disagree. At no point has Sprint said this fee is because we will be using more data. They said it is because it's a "richer media experience."

its not only because it loads pages, its because it will make web browsing experience 20x better causing you to browse the web more from your phone. the data intensive apps that the android os uses, all of this will cause more bandwidth then with any other of sprints phones ever.

When was the last time Sprint cared what we thought. They are in it for the $$ and we will pay so...... and if they do change it feel free to rub it in my face, it will be worth it.

We shall see. I don't really know much about rooting or if HTC can Block it. It appears that Motorola can.

But with them coming out with this $29 hotspot feature, I doubt Sprint is just Oblivious to the fact that users are rooting Android phones and getting FREE hotspot use.

So? What does that have to do with anything? I am already paying for an unlimited data plan right now.

And the TP2 from the Mogul is just as big of an upgrade anyway. WM6.5 is way more data heavy than the WM5 or WM6 (whatever) that the Mogul shipped with. The IE in the TP2 has built in flash support for crying out loud, and the TP2 shipped with a youtube app, weather, and all kinds of stuff that uses data. The Mogul had none of that when it launched.

Clearly, this fee is for 4G.
