Sprint has 500 minutes + unlimited txt & data + AnyMobile AnyTime + GPS Nav + TV, etc for $60/month on their EPRP plan (or $70 - corp disc. on regular retail plan). $80 for the same minutes/txt/data and fewer features on a shoddier network? No thanks.
The snarky undertones in your story aren't really necessary. It's exactly these types of pre-paid ultra low plans (ST, Page Plus, Metro PCS, Boost, Cricket, etc) which are placing *long-overdue* pressure on the major 4 carriers to lower plan rates. We've already seen that happen at Sprint and perhaps soon T-Mobile with their "Project Dark" (rumored $50 unlimited plan).
I look forward to a future where the big 4 have similar voice/data/txt plans at the $50 mark and not the $70-100 ripoffs currently being charged.
As US-based cell user, and a Sprint customer at that, all this HD2 news is depressing..
Engadget team: any news or rumors whatsoever of Sprint getting the Touch Diamond2 / Whitestone? It passed FCC review a few months ago but we haven't heard anything since.. no pics, rumors, dates or anything.
Lack of tethering is the dealbreaker for me on the Pre. What are these brilliant corporate types thinking? Business users no longer need tether? Ridiculous...
Please PLEASE let there be a tethering app for this device (or a PDAnet port). I rarely tether, once every month maybe, so it doesn't make sense to get a tethering plan, but it is urgently needed at those times. That's really the one reason why I'd never leave WindowsMobile.
Can't believe the Diamond2 / Topaz didn't show up! After all the rumors that we might even see a May/June release of it (matching europe). I knew that was too good to be true, but now it's not even on the roadmap at all?? Huge bummer..
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
