[HTC EVO 3D] nYdGeo:
I have a brother and several co-workers on T-Mobile. If they get ahead of their data plan, and usually not until they are way over it, they get throttled back temporarily and then back to full speed. They do not get charged extra.

A co-worker's T-Mobile plan costs slightly less than the plan my wife and I got when we pre-ordered our Evo 4G's.

Sprint has 4G (the inferior wimax variety) available to like 10% of the country. take a look at the T-mobile LTE map. Now that is decent coverage. Also, 3G ranges from average to pathetic in my area, being very inconsistent depending on where you are in the area. Most of the time I can only 1x in my office, while two offices down my nearest T-mobile user is getting 8-10Mb at all times.

I know that this is not the case everywhere or for everyone. but it is for me and those that I know. Since we renewed and got our Evo 4G's, Sprint has gotten rid of every reason to be with them except for decent prices and unlimited data...for now. The split their premier tiers screwing virtually everyone. Once they got tired of all of the calls about this they simply cancelled it completely. Phone prices soar yet renewal discounts are lower than ever.

No, Sprint isn't a perfect company but neither is any business. If its run by human beings, its screwed by nature. Though I am fairly disgusted with Sprint, its not enough to make me leave them simply because I use a lot of data for work and the price is decent. In summary, I'm not anti Sprint...they all suck.

But what really sucks is some of the attitudes here. As we'll find in thousands of posts all over xda, this is a General topic thread. That means that you can ask a question, post a gripe, say Sprint sucks, praise Sprint, and anything else remotely related. If the Moderators of xda have changed their view on this, I'm sure that they'll post it.

If that comes to pass, those of us who comprehend and respect the spirit of freedom of speech and expression, and are also civilized and mature enough to have the capacity to agree to disagree, can find another haven if need be.

The xda forums appears to be more and more permeated with immature victims of advertisement & marketing. Maybe your Evo 3D is a status thing for you, or whatever, but the Evo 3d or 4G, the new super Samsung, whatever you got, its a phone. I use the crap out of mine for many things besides phone calls, but its simply the current iteration of a phone.

The true evil of this is that so many are now so damned pathetically insecure that they are threatened by the most pointless of items. Far too many xda members feel that because they chose this provider and/or phone, anyone that makes any other decision is obviously an idiot. Even more disturbing is that fact that if someone has a different opinion regarding device or provider, many now feel the need if not the responsibility to be a complete jackass, and ream the other.

The next thing you know, they are being told that they shouldn't be posting or go post it somewhere else. Now we've come full circle. The General forum is the 'somewhere else'. Back when parents actually raised their young, when people had some degree of respect for themselves and others, and tings such a civility and manners had a place, parents often told children that if they had nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say anything. Sadly, there are now far too many children and adults that were obviously raised with far less care and concern if at all.

Thank you for your time.
