Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

I went to tmobile just to handle the hd2 earlier... it basically just seemed like the tp2 all over again with no keyboard to me. It was somewhat faster but the browser was still pretty sluggish.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

When Sprint gets a new WInMo device w/o a keyboard, that will be the device I will look at. I'm getting tired of Sprint restricting some of us regarding these new devices because we are not on the Right plan regarding data. I pay over $100 frigg'n dollars a month for a plan with UNLIMITED DATA, and Sprint wants me to change plans in order to have the pleasure of using one of their new devices.
I got an IDEA, take off the restrictions for your Premier Customers and that would be a Premier "Perk" I would look forward to. In fact, take the Restriction off of others with plans with unlimited data also.
I WILL be switching Carriers if i could find a Carrier with as good as reception for Data & Voice as Sprint has, and for as good a price as I am paying now. Until then, I will reluctantly continue to be a Sprint Customer, and deal with the Draconian Restriction Sprint has placed on me as well as others.
My Diamond looks better and better as time goes by. Fits right in my pocket, and I forget it's there.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

I doubt if Sprint even puts out anymore new winmo phones until that wp7 crap comes out.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

I know I am have been die hard WinMo for years but what this phone is offering I am willing to give Android a shot. I had been eyeballing the Hero as a back-up for a few weeks now anyways due to price. I am alradey on a anything plan so hopefully the Evo wont be a problem. However since it took a long time for us to get EVDO here I doubt 4G will be a concern for quite some time.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G

@BooDaddy >>

If a new plan would cost you another $25/mo, that would be $300/year or $600 over a 2 year contract. If the Evo is worth an additional $300.00 per year (and maybe more, depending on what the cost increase is regarding a plan change,) to own, go for it
For me, no device is worth an additional increase of $100's of dollars per year to own.
A one time additional cost, maybe, but not a re-occurring cost.
I have 2 lines, and I pay $107 per month w/TEP. A change of plans would cost me an additional $90/month, or $1080 per year. The answer is obvious regarding a switch.
My Mom only uses 50 minutes a month. Sprint should make an allowance regarding this, if they are going to force me to switch plans.
As I said, my Diamond is pretty good, and I have a spare just in case. Btw, that spare was used the other week, and I received a replacement under TEP.

This sort of uninformed ranting is just that, uninformed. I'll set the record straight because I don't like OTHER people to be caught up in silly misconceptions.

#1- The only times a "change" or "addition" in plan/features/cost has EVER been required to switch between data devices is when there is a difference in the data type(1x/3G/4G), the data is delivered to your device differently, or the new phone requires/comes with additonal services(GPS, Sprint TV, Visual Voicemail, etc).

Example: You have a code on your account that gives you unlimited 1x data for $10 a month. Well surprise, surprise- you have to change you plan/feature code to go to a TP2 so that you can actually GET your EVDO/3G data. Thats crazy huh? To think that that same $10 code somehow would randomly support 4G data is silly. When I bought a car that says "Premium Fuel Only" I didn't write my manufacturer complaining about how much extra a year I'm going to spend on fuel -->IF<-- I bought it. Always remember that no one is forcing you to change with the times and buy new things, thats your call.

------------------------------------------------------------------

#2- Any of the "Simply Everything" or "Everything Data" plans will support the EVO at no additional cost because the DATA is a back-end code that can be changed on all the new plans depending on the type of device thats currently active. SO, if you have an old plan that didn't support 4G data....its not magically going to support 4G data, your going to need to change to something that does. EVERY carrier that I have EVER seen/worked for has operated this way and probably will continue to do so for years to come. Just because someone has an old plan that doesn't support 4G data doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't a good alternative plan to suit their needs. If these are the "Draconian Restrictions" that you speak of, your point of view is so skewed that you need to back away and examine the big picture before you buy ANYTHING in the cellular arena regardless of the carrier.

Examples:
Sanyo 2700 w/ Everything Data 450 is $69.99/month <--1x data
HTC Touch Pro 2 w/ Everything Data 450 is $69.99/month <--3G data
Blackberry Curve 2 w/ Everything Data 450 is $69.99/month <--3G data + Blackberry Service
HTC EVO 4G w/ Everything Data 450 is $69.99/month <--4G data
----Crazy how much more expensive that 3G and/or Blackberry service is huh? That looks like a whole $0 a year more to me!

3G only USB aircard with the 5GB cap is $59.99/month
3G only Wireless Hotspot with the 5GB cap is $59.99/month
3G/4G USB aircard with 5GB 3G cap and unlimited 4G is $59.99/month
3G/4G Wireless Hotspot with 5GB 3G cap and unlimited 4G is $59.99/month
----Crazy how much more expensive that 4G is huh? That looks like a whole $0 a year more to me!

Also.......let me reiterate............NO ONE is FORCING you to buy a new phone and change your plan.

And lets just for a minute entertain the idea that they would charge extra for 4G data if you wanted to use it and you were in an area that had it, no one is forcing you to get that either. That being said I can tell you for sure that the aforementioned plans will support the EVO and that there isn't any sort of internal plan to charge more for 4G because its cheaper to provide 4G than it is 3G, hence the reason our 3G/4G aircard plans have a 5GB cap for 3G and the 4G is unlimited.

would the Everything Messaging plan also apply?

seeing your position w/ Sprint....any hints as to when we'll actually see EVO released?

thx

With the Everything Messaging plans not having data included I would assume not, you'd need something that supported data.

That being said, you can sign up an AOL email address and then apply for the AOL discount which is 10% a month and knock off some of the cost in changing over to an Everything Data plan.

As far as time frame goes, I WISH I knew so I could mark it on my calendar
