People want to make a big deal about the extra $10 for the EVO plan, well for me saving $15 is a big deal too.
Why didnt you just ditch the data card and tether with your TP2?

Re: EVO not WORTH the switch

I don't understand why people have problems...my phone ****ing kicks ass. I will say until you cook your own ROM the tp2 will never be as comparable, but if you decide to be brave and cook your own ROM (without SENSE is a MUST) it is just as good if not better than every other OS.

You should not have to give up your EPRP plan for the phone. I still have my EPRP Family 1600 with the phone. Just paying the $10 data fee

I signed up for the email notification when the app became available, but that was so long ago I barely even remember doing it..........

I guess the pro to this is, by the time the SM works in Android there will be phones available with 2 gig processors, AMOLED screens & awesome keyboards.......

I have the EVO and I can say it's a big step up from the TP2 and I am one of the few people that is actually paying the same as far as the bill as I was with the TP2 due to the credits I now have on my account. I never had sero so I don't know the price difference
