Where are you guys getting this $100 figure for the deductible?

For equipment replacement, Sprint has two tiers of deductibles, $50 & $100. Most smartphones fall into Tier 2 @ $100 (including Evo).

From Sprint Site (pdf link to details below):
Equipment Replacement Program Coverage for devices that are lost or stolen or have liquid or physical damage.
The fee for the program is $4 per phone, smart device or Sprint Mobile Broadband card per month.
There is a $50 or $100 non-refundable deductible per approved claim depending on the device.
File your claim within 60 days of the loss, theft or damage.
You can have up to three approved claims for loss, theft, physical or liquid damage within any consecutive 12 months with a maximum replacement value of $1000 per claim.
Replacement equipment may be the same or comparable model with similar features as your original device at Sprint's discretion and may be new or remanufactured. Remanufactured replacements have been tested and inspected to meet or exceed Sprint quality standards.
Device replacements for approved claims typically arrive in 1 business day when submitted by 7:30 p.m. Central Time. Inventory levels and holidays may delay this estimated arrival time.
For full terms and conditions: Equipment Replacement Program Coverage Certificate.

Interestingly, the chart I posted is no longer on sprint's website - now replaced with this one:

Unfortunately, I could not find any specifics about the $7/mo plan like the pdf you posted, only the two cheaper plans.
