Rick, it might be interesting to see how Clearwire prices its WiMAX phones when they arrive later this year... wondering how the Pick 2 promos will work then.

I believe that Sprint should bundle unlimited everything for $99 month. I currently use Clears pick 2 for only $55 with a USB for my laptop and a home modem. I have been waiting for this phone for awhile, however the additional charges make me hesitant. Currently, I use ATT for my cell phone service.

I agree, the $10 seems a bit arbitrary; the $30 extra for hotspot capability is understandable (and arguably a big bargain) but the extra 10 smacks for WiMAX... well maybe you have to price it higher to discount it down the line.
