Talk in various discussion forums is starting to pick up in response to a report this morning at BoyGeniusReport that data rates could be rising at Sprint. According to participants in various online forums who claim to be familiar with such matters, as of July 10, 2008 the existing Sprint SERO plans (Sprint Exclusive Referral Offer) will be no more. In their place will be the Everything Plus which is Simply Everything Plan with a $10 discount plus 10% increase in minutes. Existing SERO users can expect to remain “grandfathered” in their plans. If you’ve been thinking of buying a Sprint phone, act before July 10 and pick up a 500 minute plan with unlimited text and EVDO for $30 /month. After the 10th, the plans will reportedly become:

Everything Plus 500 – $ 59.99
Everything Plus 1000 – $ 79.99
Simply Everything – $ 99.99

    If you are remotely thinking Sprint — jump on one of these plans before the rumored cutoff date of 7/10.

    Worst case if the rumor is unfounded — you can always return it.

    For $30/mo you can now get a WM device and tether it to your computer for unlimited EVDO Rev A data speed.

    When I did this on my Mogul I easily got 800k downloads.

    FWIW – an unlimited dedicated Broadband connection via Verizon is running me about $70/mo

    Okay, I just ported two numbers to Sprint after reading this.
    $30/month each for unlimited data + text and plenty of minutes is just too ridiculous.

    I’ll have to switch from my iPhone, sadly, but I was going to switch to the iPhone 3G anyways. But $70/month total (for the two phones) vs. $130/month for two phones with AT&T is just too big of a difference. Hopefully this “Mogul” that’s coming in a few days now will be a decent phone..
