Thanks! If I can do that, then my bill will stay the same at $50/mo, my daytime minutes will go down to 500, but I'll add unlimited mobile to mobile and Sprint Nav. Sounds good to me. Now maybe I'll get the EVO or more likely the Epic since I love my TP2 keyboard and don't really like software keyboards that take up half the screen! ! I just wish it had a kick-stand!

What a crock of shat. So someone PLEASE explain to me what this $10 a month for an android will get me besides the android that i would presumably have to pay several hundred dollars for anyway?

I mean, just what services am i going to receive for that $10 a month that my windows mobile device doesnt already have access to? HMMMM?

Seems like just another way for sprint to sukker us out of more money because we ALL know these phones can be activated on our plans right now...with no changes.... if they wanted to do it.

it's for the addition of sprint nav and anytime any mobile addition on the SERO plan. so if you have the 500 SERO, you only have unlimited mobile to mobile (sprint to sprint) and no sprint nav. it's another $10 if you want sprint nav on that SERO and the anytime any mobile isn't an option you can just add for an extra charge. so for an extra $10/month getting those two features on your account with an iconic device is a good deal.

So is sprint going to get an awesome Android phone that isn't 4g so I don't have to pay an EXTRA 10 dollars for 4g?

and there is my problem. I never even go over 100 anytime minutes so... i really have no need or want for any more minutes.

and sprint navigation COME ONNNN MAN. These phones have built in gps1 chips that run off real satellites who the he11 needs sprints crappy nav that runs off cell tower triangulation.

So, back to the ONE thing i gain for $10 a month... the "privilege" of paying $10 more a month for a phone im going to pay ohh probably $4-500 for anyway.

Yippie. This is really starting to sound "apple-ish"

maybe sprint should change their symbol to a apple with two bites taken out of it.

Same here. Google Maps and I never talk on my phone.

But the cell phone carriers only have the cell phone carriers to compete with. There is no how to run a cell company book. They each are doing what they think is best for the company and their users. They see how ATT and the iPhone work and the big wigs at Sprint want to see if they can get away with making people change plans for phones.

Sprint is trying to change things to please 45 million or whatever the amount is. This is like Obama trying to please all the Americans. Sprint and Obama are trying to keep everyone up-to-date with the changing times so it is easier to keep everyone on the same page. It will never happen but they can try.

The "other side" comments usually get drowned out by all the negative comments and then that is all you see.

I would pay $10/mo more for an evo... but SERO users are looking at $20 more for an EVO. Sucks! Guess ill keep my TP2 longer....

Dude, even though it sucks, its literally the cheapest plan for some of the most top of the line phones out there. 50 dollars a month for an EVO with 500 minutes and unlimited everything basically? That is sick. Also, the Samsung Galaxy S will be available for that price, which is also sick. I really don't think its unfair what Sprint is doing at all. You have the choice, stay with crappy phones on a 30 dollar plan or pay literally the lowest rate in the country for any new Android phone or WP7 when it comes out.
