Those of you interested in Sprint EVDO data card service may be interested to know that effective 11/02/08 their monthly service returns to an "unlimited" plan, but like verizon's, will incur an overage charge after the first 5GB usage per billing month.
Sprint's overage charge will be considerably less painful than Verizon's, though any overage charge is painful, nonetheless.
After the first 5GB of usage, each Sprint EVDO GIGAbyte will cost "just" $50 (cheap, compared to verizon's $250/GB overage)
In addition to the new overage charges, Sprint's early termination fee (ETF) will change from being a flat $200 over the term of contract, to a "prorated" fee that reflects $10 x each month remaining in contract, with minimum $50 and maximum $200 charge.
