i just read somewhere that sprint's going to have unlimited mobile to mobile on any unlimited data plan?

i'm really contemplating the hero, but i don't know if i want to switch plans because this plan i have works pretty well for what i use it for.

I will answer these questions:

Yes, Sprint is now going to have UNLIMITED Mobile to Mobile for ANY Carrier Nationwide on any Everything Data Plan. This is a TRUE statement and is AWESOME!!! If you are already on an Everything Data plan then it will start at the beginning of your next billing cycle. WOOT!

Secondly, plans you can have with the Hero are:

It is store policy to be on an Everything Data Plan, you might, and this is a slim might, be able to get customer care to get you a Hero on a different plan, but I know it's policy to be on one of the Everything Data Plans.

I think the whole debate is going to be made moot soon. The HTC Leo has been given a name, it's the Touch HD2. 1ghz Snapdragon cpu, winmo6.5 and probably an upgrade to WinMo 7 when it comes out (certainly there will be custom ROMs with WinMo 7), capacitive screen WITH multitouch support in TF3D, all the other goodies HTC is good at....

The difference isn't as bad as say when you compare it to the original touch (qvga)...but things definitely look pixelated when you look closely. some examples: on my diamond I can usually read the txt on websites without zooming in, but I have to zoom in to read them on the pre (txt looks blurry). Movies on my diamond looked amazing, on the pre you can definitely see the pixels. but despite this I'm still going to pick up a hero too next month. now I just have to figure out how I'm going to split my usage time between my diamond, pre and hero.

By giving one to me!

i'm pretty positivive i'll be switching to the hero when it's released. i'll probably be switching back and forth from using the hero and tp.

does anyone know if i pay the $7 TEP, how it works if i switch what phone i'm using every few days/weeks or so. like, would it always be on the last phone i purchased? or whatever phone i'm currently using?

I`m definately going to be in line at Best Buy to get this on the 11th. I`m switching from Alltel to Sprint and its going to save my brother and I about $40 each to get the everything data family plan. Only bad thing is I won`t be able to use my Alltel branded touch pro is I want to. I probably keep it around to stay on top of winmo and maybe play around with cooking on something that I don`t have to worry about if it crashes out on me. This is going to be a lonnnng 3 weeks, it kin of takes me back to that pre launch.

I hope that now that it is on CDMA we can get a forum going on in here. I know its not actually a "pocket pc", but then again I wouldn`t consider a pre a "pocket pc" either just because it`s palm. There`s a lot of intrest in Android here it seems, and I personaly feel that if Redmond comes up short with winmo 7 then Android will become the new winmo.

Android is *crazy* awesome. I just started using in on a Sprint Touch Last week. However, since I am on SERO (which apparently wont fly with the Hero) I am looking at a TP as my next phone to screw around with. I currently have the Touch and 800w...

I think technically your supposed to have the phone that would be service on the account for at least 30 days. I don't know how strict most locations are. I know where I'm from a lot of customers will switch a different phone on the line temporarily if the current phone breaks, just to get them by, then activate the broken one to get it serviced and fixed. I think thats how it works. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I am getting this phone as well i can't wait. The bad thing is im so used to wm that its gonna be hard to switch. I kinda wish i could put windows 6.5 or 6.1 on it and stuff. The other thing im excited about is the microSD cards that holds up to 32GB in size. Its about time sprint gets phones that can have more then 16GB. I just cant wait

wait... you do realize that every phone that supports microSDHC supports up to 32GB, right? It's just that there are no 32GB cards out right now, so most places haven't actually tested them, and don't put them on specs.
