I'm actually gonna wait a few months before I get the EVO 4G. I am due for an upgrade through Sprint anytime, but I'm gonna wait a bit.

 

When I spoke to a Sprint rep he told me they would not be charging 10 dollars for 4g unless you wanted the premium add on which employs 4g to the fullest and he went on to say they couldn't charge 10 dollars for a service you can't receive

 

I'm also in the wait till at least November boat. There's also no chance that I would pay the 4g tax if there was no 4g in the majority of the area I use my phone. In buying the first 4g phone, you'll also pay the early adopter penalty. There's an almost certainty that the phone will be severly flawed when compared with the 4g phones that are released a couple of weeks/months later.

 

I've heard that Sprint is thinking of renaming it to the "you're so cool" charge. By paying it, Sprint acknowledges that you are so cool. They are hoping that takes the sting out of having to pay it.

 

I am waiting for an evo equivalent with keyboard

 

Talking with a friend at sprint, he tells me the 4g is going to be a must have at 10$ a month.. i want to believe him

 

Since I AM in a 4G market, and I am currently paying $60/month for a 3G/4G modem with Time Warner (no contract).

Let's see ... (figger,figger) ... I have a family plan that I can add a line to for $15/month + $10 for 4G premium and $30/month for mobile hotspot; it seems to me that I should be able to add a line and still save $5/month.

Of course I'd have to buy into a two year contract unless I want to pay full price for the EVO! Hmmm, how much was that again?

But then if I just upgraded my Moment and saved the $15 extra line charge that's $360, hmmmmm; goes a long way towards the full price and alleviates any issues with porting phone numbers.

Yup! I believe I'll be getting an EVO! One way or the other. Anybody wanna buy a 3G/4G Modem with Time Warner?
