Mine was $50 a month for unlimited 4g + 5 GB while in 3G.It also provides wifi and gps for up to five devices. I take it to meetings and conferences because it fits in my pocket. It gets decent up/down speeds.
I have had 5 devices in 4g and Internet surfing was smooth but when two of us used our netflix accounts it was choppy. 3G is good but would not recommend for more than 3 machines using it - unless it is general during.
Lacency is a issue if you want to play online games.

Why would Sprint need to kiss ass? Sprint doesn't want the iphone, it would be a nice addition but they don't need it.

Only stupid people like yourself can't see how this boost both apple and sprint market.
