Heheh good point. But whereas the "all you can eat" says exactly that -- all YOU can eat --it's already very specific to the YOU and is also very obviously not "all You AND Your Friends can eat" and this is not presented (and presentation here is everything) as "unlimited data for one device" and even if it were, they don't really mean "unlimited".

And, believe it or not, I'm not complaing about the extra fee for the HTC, or even the extra fee for the Hot Spot. Truly. (Given our current plan and the changes that we'd make to it once we can get the EVOs, we'll only be spending a mere $2.00 more per month total to have the two Evos and to be able to use both of 'em as hot spots vs. our current two Pres + one USB 3g connection + one additional line we should have dropped 8 months ago. )

I just object to frustration involved in trying to uncover what the actual limitations are on these beasts when they're all billed as "unlimited". {sigh} I really just want forthright statements. With this $amount you get up to x GB/mo for x devices. With that $amount you get up to xx GB/mo for y devices. None of this "unlimited" bs. We all KNOW nothing is really unlimited, ever, anywhere. I mean, really . And just think how many forums posts and rants and customer raves would be saved if only they all stated very clearly what the limits are vs. trying to use sleight of hand to cloud the issue?

With the "unlimited data" on our current plan (Palm Pres, Everyting Family) there's a limit on that "unlimited" of 5GB/mo per line. I'm sure theres a limit on the "unlimited" for the extra $10/mo we'll pay for the HTC EVO 4G, but I don't see that published anywhere. I'm sure that with the extra $ for the "unlimited" on the Hot Spot, there's a limit there too, but I don't see that published anywhere either. So if we keep our plan and get the Evos, and add on the hot spots, we would have "3x unlimited" but really, there's a limit. But what is it?

Maybe I just need to get out my magnifying glass to see those limits in the fine print or find the easter egg on the site that reveals all, but so far I've seen no clue as to what those limitations might be. Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

Oh and if anyone has an answer to #2 that would be great too ...

(2) Also I have only seen this charge [the $29.99 for Hot Spot usage] listed here in the forums. I've looked and looked and looked on the main website and cannot find it listed anywhere. Where can we find it listed in the plans and charges and such on the regular website when shopping and comparing?
