Windows 7 is so large I doubt this would be possible. Even tablet makers are shying away from using Windows 7 because it is so slow on such hardware.

EDIT: Opps, didn't realize you said Windows Phone 7. Thought you meant the full OS! lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooomoto:
Are you talking about Windows 7, or Windows PHONE 7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
That would be nice although I've never seen windows on an android device, although that could be because no one really likes windows mobile. I personally liked it for garmin, and that's about it.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Did I miss where we could get out of the contract because they bumped up their surcharges this month? And, I lost $4.60 23% student discount on the 3rd line this month, too. ;(

Sprint Surcharges

Hide Details And Explanation of Charges

Sprint Surcharges are rates we choose to collect from you to help defray costs imposed on us. Surcharges are not taxes on you or amounts we are required to collect from you by law. Surcharges other charges incurred to recover costs associated with governmental programs, and certain taxes imposed upon Sprint. The amounts, and the components used to calculate Surcharge amounts, are subject to change.

Last Month:

Federal-Univ Serv Assess Non-LD	$2.07

Administrative Charge	$2.97

Regulatory Charge	$1.20

--------------

$6.24

This Month:

Federal-Univ Serv Assess Non-LD	$2.15

Administrative Charge	$3.96

Regulatory Charge	$1.60

--------------

$7.71

Also, consumerist still says you can get out of your contract because of the discount until the 27th: http://consumerist.com/2010/09/over-2-lines-cancel-sprint-without-fee.html

I'm thinking about doing this on our 3rd line - just in case I want to jump ship and go to the iphone. Haha.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
So you want to break your contract over an extra $1.47?

If you're going to be a penny pincher about a cellphone service you might as well get a tracfone.

"You gotta pay to play".
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
No, I don't want to leave now, but I want them to fulfill my contract so I can cancel in the future, if I so please, without an etf.

Still, that's a $1.47 + $4.60 (lost discount), which = $6.07 a mo, or $72.84 a year, which is half of a monthly bill!
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Losing your % discount on lines 3-5 is not a reason to have your ETF waived. The only way they will waive your ETF is if you were offered a MRC discount for 1 or 2 years and it was removed.

As far as I know, surcharges did not go up - you might want to check into that.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Copied straight from the AUG and SEPT online bills.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Surcharges suck any way you put it. Some months they will be low and others they may skyrocket. Even with my military discount and staying within my allotted limits (data, text, calls, etc) my monthly bill will never be the same because the surcharges are never the same. NOW, if the surcharge were to jump up to $15+ a month out of nowhere I would get pissed and get down to the bottom of it. If it really bothers you that much call a represantative and have them try to explain it to you more in detail as to what exactly is going on with your bill.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
ETF can also be waived in the event a service member gets deployed with orders unless they changed it in the past year or so.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There are plenty of way's to have ETF's waived, im just speaking in particular to his case.
[EVO 4G General] hotdog32836:
stop crying over pocket change
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hmm, well the first 3 months were the exact same to the cent.

I think they just freeze that line for free now.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Would you like to paypal me $72.84 a year of your pocket change? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Dimes make dollars. Who are you to tell somebody else how to manage their money? Maybe it's a small amount to you. What if it was a dollar more? Still okay? Two dollars? Five? Ten? What's the exact dollar amount where it becomes okay to question the reason for the increase?
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Ummm.....

$7.71 - $6.24 = $1.47

$1.47/$6.24 = 0.235

You lost you 23% discount and because your fees are based on a percentage of the bill, they went up 23%.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Technically, that's a 23.5% increase, and that's after rounding the wrong way. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hmm, good point. I was just thinking about that while watching a youtube video. That's really strange that the discount would have an effect on the monthly admin fees, yet not the $10 whatever fee.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
That to me is the only real **** move here. Not having that 10 bucks be part of what a discount is applied to. Just a **** move, pure and simple.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Well I think the $10 fee is unjustifiable in the first place. Since it's not for 4G data, and unlimited data is already included with Sprint's plans, it's basically saying hey, you have to have unlimited plus 1 if you want a 4G phone (because those are the only non-**** phones we've ever had)

Seeing that the discount was included on the admin fees was a real shocker to me.
[EVO 4G General] teamster02:
It's not the surcharge...

They didn't change the surcharge, they eliminated the discount on additional lines effective Sep. 1st. However, since this is a material change of contract (costs you $), you CAN get out of contract. At least for the lines affected anyway. You only have so long to call in and object to the change of service or you automatically accept. Everybody was notified of this change i think 2 billing cycles ago. I called in, advised that a material change of service was not acceptable and was transferred to level 2 who told me he could credit me for 1 month (plan price not including additional lines - $130). When pressed, also stated I could get out of contract. He didn't say just get out of contract for the additional lines, but I'm assuming thats the case. I now have until October 12th to make a decision. That being said, dropping my discount of 23% on 2 additional lines costs me about $9.20/mo. Can I get comparable features (UNLIMITED data, unlimited to any cell, navagation, etc.) for all 4 lines for the same or less $? Probably not. But the credit of $130 is just $26 shy of the discount I would have recieved total for the next 17 months of my contract.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Yeah, there must be some other rounding going on with the individual fees that caused the difference.

Note that the individual fees aren't percentage based but as a whole they are. I wonder how exactly they are determined.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Your % discount is not being counted as a reason to waive ETF as you never signed a contract to receive your NVP discount (funny huh?).
[EVO 4G General] Xard:
Never the less, if you use the argument that you NEVER would have renewed your additional lines had you known the discount would be eliminated retentions will let you out ETF free.

I've closed 2 of 5 lines so far and am carrier shopping for my other three.
[EVO 4G General] admorris:
WTF...seriously??? $74/year and you're looking to jump ship? As someone stated earlier, Tracfone is definitely for you if dollars are that tight.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Idk what you guys are smoking, but tracfone is pricey. Tmo has the best pre-paid options, last I checked.

Money isn't tight, but I like to save as much as I can, everywhere, because then I get more elsewhere.

It just makes sense.

The more you save, the more you get. Sadly, most people don't think this way and for some reason, think spending more means you're cooler, get a better product, ect. It seems to really be the trend in high school and college kids nowadays, too.

Exactly. We went with sprint because I get a 23% student discount, and without it, we probably would have just stuck with att because they offered me 200 extra minuets per line and free family texting for the next 2 years if we stuck with them.

At least we only have 3 lines with sprint; only one lost the discount, but that's still $74 a year, or about $160 in 2 years, which is one month's bill, therefore a 1/24 ratio.
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
Any successes eliminating ETF yet? =D

(Not going to switch, but if I could eliminate ETF for future phones that may come out in the next couple of years I would love that ETF not to be there)
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I could be wrong...

Pretty sure any time there is a loophole to get you out ETF free, you need to cancel to take advantage. It does no good if you want to stay and just be contract free.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I always thought the Sprint Customer's sense of entitlement was exaggerated...I see now I was wrong.
[EVO 4G General] cpiddy:
Ya know, lately I have seen so many people on here *****ing and complaining about losing their discounts and trying to cancel early without paying. I am starting to feel that most of these people should not have a phone with a data plan. And I will judge anyone who pays $130/month for cellular service and cant afford an extra $74/ yr. Get over it crybabies. Its probably the same people tearing through data like its nothing and who will be surprised when sprint starts capping our data usage.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That's exactly what it is. Only the people without money are the ones who complain.

Sent from my Evo beeesshh
[EVO 4G General] m3latino:
I did it yesterday. The surcharge increase affected me since I am in NY and I also lost the evp discount on the extra line. The retention rep offered me a $50 credit which would be applied to my account in two billing statements. This would cover me till my contract expires on the additional line. I declined it and got the line noted to be cancelled without an ETF.

What I really wanted to get was a full upgrade since I was not eligible but the rep could not do it. I am now going to get a cheap prepaid phone and port the sprint # to it. Then add a line to my account with a new sprint #. After 30 days I will port back my old # to the new line and VIOLA full upgrade. I did it before in December when they had some terms changed as well and no issues at all.
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
Right, this coming from someone who makes a HUGE 40k per year. OMFG man how do you send it all??!?

I'm just wondering why you don't save some of that money you seem to think is so inexhaustible and send it home to your family in Cuba... I mean sure its illegal, but I'm sure with all that time you're not spending retaining customers for Sprint you could get on the web and find a creative route.

I don't know who you're trying to impress, but most people I know would be quite the opposite.

To the OP: many many trolls on here that feel its their obligation to clutter others threads with their tired "I think you are a crybaby and now I'm going to cry about it myself for 3 paragraphs" crap. I and many others support you and think Sprint does not always give everyone a fair shake. Most are just too blase to reply and feed the trolls further.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Where did you get I make 40k a year from? You and the other idiot need to learn to read. You fail to understand a discount is not something that is promised for the life of an account and can be removed at anytime, read your contract. When you accept that your life will be much easier.

Don't worry about what I send to cuba, they are definitely doing good over there thanks to my family. You really think I moved to this country to be a dead beat crying over a stupid discount? (no offense to the OP or anyone else) Citizens of cuba don't have internet, let alone a phone with the capability. Funny how blinded some people are to the rest of the world and the stupid stuff they fight over.

Consider this my last response to the idiotic and ignorant mind you seem to have. I, unlike yourself, actually help many people on these forums with their Sprint account (indirectly). Let me know when you need some help, I might consider giving you some inside information.

Sent from my Evo beeesshh
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
I'm sure your relatives (assuming anyone even believes this story anymore) in Cuba would be proud to hear you scoff at money that others ANYWHERE in the world (as if Cuba has a monopoly on poverty?!?) think is substantial.

I mean 74 dollars would, I know for a fact, fund a substantial prescription drug regimen in Cuba over a year. Stop bragging about your STILL sub-janitorial salary (LMAO 76k and you talk like you got it big?).

For someone with the self-admitted realization that Cubans cannot afford or even obtain things like the EVO, you certainly condemn people here who try to afford them rather quickly.

Please try not to floor me quite so hard next time with your massive pay amount.

How do they calculate that 50% commission btw? How many customers you flame on the internet for 'penny pinching?' Or how many times you announce your sad and inadequate salary? Or is it actually how many ETFs you get customers thinking about leaving Sprint to pay? I know for a fact you are supposed to lie and say "oh no sir, there really isn't anyone here that can do that. The system won't LET us do that. No sir not even a supervisor can do that. YES sir, the system has control over us. I know sir, it pisses me off too...."

You are a special type of clown Shroomz.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Just couldn't help myself....

[EVO 4G General] treckin:
You somehow don't know that you still have to pay pennys for prescriptions??

Wow man just wow
[EVO 4G General] cpiddy:
This topic is still open?!?! Im pretty sure the guy who works for sprint has heard every excuse in the book from all you cheap ass people. No one here needs to justify themselves by how much they make whether its $20k or $100k. It still all comes back to the fact that you signed a contract, probably didnt read the contract, and now all you cheap asses want to complain to get a better deal. If you are too cheap then change providers. Nobody wants to hear your crying.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I had a guy threaten to cancel all lines last night because the loss of these discounts... he lost $1.27 a month (line 3). I would never in my life call a company to complain over $1.27, how ridiculous.

I also had a lady wanting to cancel, educated she had a $50 ETF to call back next month and there won't be an ETF. Told her she doesn't even pay for this line, it's completely free... she still raised hell for a good 40 minutes because of the "principal" that she was told she could cancel this month.... Lady, you don't even pay for this line, what the hell is the issue, call back in 30 days. Some people...
[EVO 4G General] jcantol:
if i am not mistaken sprint was the last of the big 4 to take the discount off of lines 3-5. not that a couple of bucks isn't stressful if your on a budget but lines 3-5 for what they can get on the everything data plan for 20 bucks a month is pretty crazy.
[EVO 4G General] admorris:
+100...just like the idiots who want a year of free oil changes because it took an extra day to fix their pos car. Just love cheap people...just love em'!!!
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
That has nothing to do with being cheap. If they were actually cheap they never would have taken their car to be fixed in the first place. They would have fixed it themselves like any real "cheap" person.

Instead, you're complaining more about the entitlement group of people. These are the people who think that they are entitled to some sort of prize every time someone other than themselves makes a mistake.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
With the discount change and the new jump in surcharges my bill jumped 32.00 a month or 384 a year yea I'm a little pissed. Just trying to figure out how to lower it a bit.

Lol @ canceling over 1.74$ wow

From the Fade
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
I didn't think it was possible for your bill to go up $32 a month based on those changes - mind laying out the math for us? Sorry if I missed where you did that already.

- Put the phone into download mode

- Connect your Phone via USB and flash the i9000_Kernel.tar without pit file

- Pull the battery and disconnect your Phone

- Reboot into recovery mode and flash the update.zip you put in the root folder of your sdcard.

- Pull the battery again, reboot into download mode again.
