Did anyone see this today? What the HELL is this? People with this phone don't have to pay to 10 dollar premium data fee, because it's a "green" phone? What the hell? Damn, I'll call sprint, and promise to save a gallon of water a day, and turn my lights off, if that will get me away from the 10 dollar bull ****.

Bull mutha ***** ish I'm calling tomorrow.
I'll gladly keep paying the 10 bones a month to avoid having my phone look like that.
This is crap. I'm paying $10 a month for DIAL UP 3G SPEEDS.
If you call sprint to complain about that....umm good luck I guess. I'm sure you'll get the "you can get that if you our has and activate this phone" crap lol

Yeah this is some bull.... and i will be calling right f..... now. F... waiting until tomorrow.
They are trying to sell the phone. Makes sense.
i bet $10 ill never see one of those being used in real life
I don't want to sound like a douchebag or anything... but you're talking about $10. I probably have $10 worth of change in the ashtray of my car and waste more than that on a daily basis...
EDIT: I realize that was kind of a **** thing to say, sorry. I guess, as a former Verizon & T-Mobile customer, I'm just used to bullsh** fees from mobile companies.

Not trying to start anything, but it would make for a decent inexpensive phone for my 14 year old. Also sounds to me that they are just trying to promote people to be slightly environmentally conscious. To charge $10 extra a month for a phone that doesn't even come remotely close to specs the smart phones we're rocking would be more of a travesty than our $10 fee. IMHO.
Since its not 4g they can't justify the fee. Even thought they call it premium data.

It has nothing to do with 4G. The premium data fee applies to all smartphones now, not just ones that are 4G capable.

I bet if the phone wasn't as ugly as it is they wouldn't be waiving the fee....
You know Sprint was like, how the F... re we going to sell this ugly POS. Should we pay people to use it? Hmmmm, that's not profitable. Oh, I know...lets waive our BS $10 fee that shouldn't be there in the first place and people will think they are getting a bargain!
They better promote the Evolution 3D and get rid of the fee. If I remember correctly didn't the Evo come in an environmentally safe box?

The reason is because of the higher costs of smartphones. The more the phones cost the higher the insurance monthly price.

coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Hate to say it but grandfathered unlimited plans are going bye bye.
That is if you update your line. You can keep it as long as you don't update you cell line.
But when you upgrade to you next phone you'll lose your unlimited plan and you can either get 2GB for $25 or since we have unlimited data now we can get 4GB for $30....
Damn you AT&T.
Update: You get to keep it. Some AT&T rep didn't know what she was talking about.

Good point. I was so pissed. I'm going to call back tomorrow and talk to a different person. They better be right.
I have a US Naval Federal Account so they can't remove or modify anything without talking to my IT guy.
I'm a sales rep at At&t this is not true...and mostly incorrect word of mouth. Nothing down the pipeline of csr info and simulations of anything close to explaining away a unlimited data not being available to existing customers a BB and iPhone and a messaging phone I did yesterday alone all had the unlimited data two up another equip change so. No when your told something remotely like this situation explained, that is when you hang up and call again. Though any New Lines on existing plans or straight new can not get unlimited data minus other referred methods available via search.
