If they do, Verizon becons. I am not sure my usage is that high that VZ would surcharge me! Sprint lied, said phone would work in Europe, said phone would PAM but added $50 monthly fee, tries to sell me junk at every turn using that bandwidth.

Anything running BB, Android, Windows, Palm, or the Instinct family.

That seems pretty clear to me.

You show a picture of the Evo, but for Evo users, there is no change. The change is that the older or lower end smartphone devices will now also pay the same $10 fee the Evo/Epic users have been paying from the start.
