Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

[gopens]

.

Because even if they were off a little bit, they didn't deserve to be flambasted by people who had different dates or no info at all... AGAIN....JMHO

Fair enough.

Dan Hesse you greedy ****. had to try to milk me for that extra $10/mo. I was going to buy two but now I might not. We should all send message to Sprint that they are sticking it to us!!!

if you don't want to sit in first class go sit in the back.

I really think that is for Hotspot on EVO. I could be wrong, but I hope I am not. I think the $69/'$99 unlimited plan is firm and the $10 buck per mo is for EVO Hotspot.

Now can we drop it. Jackson is not here to defend himself.

A very sensible suggestion.

according to sprint.com phone requires a premium data buy-up
Sprint - HTC EVO? 4G

What does premium data buy-up mean? Just the 10$ a month extra for 4G?

Uh oh. Video chat demo fail. It happens. :-/

from twitter feed lol

 

[dequardo]

THEY JUST FIXED IT. I got an email and it explains the $10 add-on is for business plans $59.99 and up. Woohoo!

 

[droidtime]

i think you'll be ok. no need to panic yet. worst case scenario it's only $10/month. $120/year. that's a light bar tab for me on a bad night.

Honestly, I see $10 / mo as fine IF you can actually use the 4g.

 

[perpetual]

no evo for me :-(

 

[RiverOfIce]

IMO it's an add on. that means optional. they will not charge for 4G in a non-4G area.

It does not look like it.


Go to Sprint - HTC EVO? 4G
Look at what it says.

It says.

$199- after mail in rebate
Phone REQUIRES a two-year agreement AND activation of a select data plan AND premium data buy-up.

Notice the REQUIRES AND AND.

It is not optional.

 

[SoFLO]

What is it that people don't understand about add-ons? I have the same thought as you. If it's an extra 4G requirement I think Sprint would've stated it that way...otherwise they need a new PR person.

Nothing has been confirmed one way or the other people, my God, calm down.

I'll eat my words. The $10 charge for 4G is REQUIRED.

just got my email from sprint


the email says a data plan is required starting at 59.99 a month, isnt the plan 69.99?????
did they lower the plan cost to try to comp the $10

 

[mkampy]

just got my e-mail


So extra $10/month for data , mmm not sure on that one.

 

[neodorian]

just got my email from sprint

It says the personal plans that start at 70 as well as the business plans that start at 60 will require this.

 

[JustFrozen]

Well, if the EVO stays with the 69.99 plan, you can get 2 EVOs on a family plan, with 1500 minutes, unlimited data and text for $150. Again, $10 cheaper than yours

yeah! except..... its not staying at 69

2 evo's: ($70 + $10) * 2 = $160

again i'm fine with it but i'm not saving any money. i get 4g EVENTUALLY tho!

 

[dandm4life]

looks like Jackson was right all along! June 4th $199

That's funny. I'm assuming it's sarcasm right?

That's what I get to. Your total will be $69.99. A few people mentioned that the plan will be changed... this is the plan, but with the same exact cost... just allocated a little different.

we dont know what "premium data buy-up" is.

it doesn't say "requires 4G add on". i bet it's a higher level $X data plan min.

 

[AlwayzRight]

GUYS WAIT A SECOND. I just got an emai from Sprint about the phone 69.99 OR if it is the business plan it is 59.99 and THEN the $10 add on!

The $10 dollar add on is just for the business plan according to this email!

 

[BlueScreen]

I think the scotch is catching up with and the excitement. People, I think were missing an important day! I don't know about you? But we have a date, we got a price, and woohoo! The people can rejoice! We won..Leet, Woot, Pwnd, and etc..

So it will not cost $10 extra for 4g for non-business customers i.e. us? lol I am soooooo confused

 

[gener]

please explain this... does that mean if im on a family shared data everythign plan (129.99) then i DON"t Hve to pay the 10 extra if i don't wnt

[binxer]

yeah! except..... its not staying at 69

2 evo's: ($70 + $10) * 2 = $160

again i'm fine with it but i'm not saving any money. i get 4g EVENTUALLY tho!

You're just adding two EVO plans together instead of looking at sprint's family plan. Check it out.

 

[JustFrozen]

lol this is way more confusing now
