ESPN Mobile has lowered the price of the MVP (Sanyo 9000) handset to $99. This is down from the $499 price the MVNO launched it with in February. In addition, the phone is now being advertised as available "while supplies last." It is rumored that a new handset will be available as early as June. Other new models are expected later in the year. ESPN's plan prices remain the same, from $35 a month for 100 minutes to $225 per month for 4000. All plans include 35 MB of data for access to Mobile ESPN and other online features.

ESPN Deactivation Fee?

Basically wondering if it would be worth buying the MVP on a contract, canceling, and taking the phone over to Sprint. I know its not quite that simple, but price wise, is it feasable?

New [Sanyo] handsets only?

Or will there be more manufactures for this MVNO?
I would imagine that you'd see something from the new Nokia/Sanyo partnership.

It sucks to be.....

The person who paid 400 dollars last month....
What is interesting is, is that Sanyo charged Sprint $495 when the 9000 (different color MVP) came out! Sprint could only "sell" them for $379 plus discounts. Sanyo basicly raped them since it was the first EVDO phone they made. Sounds like ESPN go th...
