Being a former SERO user myself, I really think that it spoils you.

For those who don't like the $10/$20 fee why not just keep what you have now? Is it really that bad not having Android?

About a month ago, SERO users didn't even have the prospect of having that OPTION. Now that they option is here, they still aren't happy.

I think if Sprint were business-smart, they probably would be better off getting rid of SERO entirely. They probably pay the LEAST of any other cell phone users but are perhaps the most disgruntled customers. Go figure.

ALL MY THOUGHTS. NO SOURCES

SERO users get in the mindset that we use this much data and minutes and everything else and they see it as Sprint charging them $30 to use what they currently use.

They think their use is not going to change just because they have the EVO. Maybe Sprint did a study and found out that people think they will use the same amount of everything and when that person switched they saw that everything increased.

So because of this study they increase the cost and then offer the customer the iconic phones and then add things to their plan. A Win for the customer and a Win for Sprint Big Wigs and Win for the company since they get more money to how build out the future of Sprint.

You know - since Sprint doesn't want to let everyone on the Evo and Epic and bring down their network like ATT and the iPhone.

Yeah....

I'm happy about the option.

I'm not happy about my bill almost doubling to take advantage of it.

That's hard to understand?

The Evo fee is a fluff fee. Pure and simple. Sprint needs revenue, in comes a fluff fee. I am ok with paying $10 more, keeping SERO and getting one of the newer phones.

What about the other $10 I'll have to pay? ANOTHER fluff fee. One is tolerable. Two is ridiculous, especially when combined they are 2/3 of what I pay total now.

$40 and you get Sprint Nav. They charge $10 for that a month. I know people will say, "Well, I use BING and that is better anyways" or "I will just use Google Nav" and you know what? Sprint doesn't care. They will play it off as a good thing.

Then $10 since they probably paid a lot to get the first phone with a front camera. HDMI. Because of these features Sprint will be charging $10. Will they get rid of it? Maybe if they see bad sales. For now it is here to stay.

There are always other carriers with no "fluff fee". But I feel like this all has some sort of plan behind it. Has been thought out all the way? We will find out.

No one is FORCING you to pay so why you complaining so much? Just be happy with the $30 SERO and be done with it.
For goodness sakes, you are paying $30 for voice and data. If you don't want to pay the extra $20 to get the Evo, then don't do it.

I think people forget that SERO is really a special plan that really doesn't exist anywhere else (other carriers).

I think that people are also forgetting that this plan is STILL $20 a month cheaper than the equivalent EPRP.

Maybe they should be comparing to what they SHOULD be paying, rather than what they COULD pay, if they wanted to (as you said, no one is forcing them).

I'm sure they'd be singing a different tune if Sprint just shuffled people onto EPRP.

If you dont wanna pay it keep your touch pro and be happy. You folks want sprint to bend over backwards for you when you're already getting the CHEAPEST plans in the country for phone service. SUCK IT UP AND PAY IT OR KEEP YOUR OLD PHONE! Its that simple.
