My brother just got his today and is now playing with it. I will look at his and see if it is worth for me to buy.

I'm interested in picking this up but I'm not too crazy about paying extra $10 per month for premium data plan as I live in middle of nowhere. I probably will not see any 4G coverage for long time.

But I can look past that additional charge if the other features are worth the monthly plan.

Yes, Foxrac, if anyone want to add Mobile Hotspot (PAM), will need to pay add $30 more per month.

I had stopped at Sprint Store today to see new HTC EVO 4G. bigger display than my iPhone. Front-facing cam s video is very clear. Wow. But battery life is short for streaming video about 3 hours. I will wait to get more info on next-gen iPhone vs HTC EVO 4G comparison next few weeks.

Sprint EVO 4G

Hello folks,

Today I went to local Sprint store and took a look on new Sprint's EVO 4G smartphone. Its task bar showed that Gaithersburg already has 4G coverage (Washington DC metro area)! I tried to access some web sites and noticed that Internet access is much faster than my iPhone. I compared it with my iPhone and its display is much bigger and easier to view. I am very satisfied with that and go ahead to order that upgrade to replace my old BB 8703e at Sprint Relay Store website this month or next.

I have a question for you. I received email from Sprint Relay Store about optional hotspot mobile for extra $29.99 a month. Can I add that tethering option later during 2 yr contract?

I already downloaded and installed Android development kit includes NDK and am learning how to write programs for that smartphone. I has good knowledge of Java programming because I had many training courses at my work and is now Java programmer. Now I am learning how to write C# programs.

Thanks,
Sword7

But no PAM for EVO 4G. Request Android 2.2 Froyo Update / Upgrade for USB tethering and portable WiFi hotspots

 

[john57]

Is there data cap limit to the plan?

WiFi hotspots will be not free.

 

[Chevy57]

WiFi hotspots will be not free.

These monthly charges are stupid and artificial.

The hardware itself is capable of providing a WiFi hotspot -- it's crazy for the carrier to charge for this ability.

No need WiFi hotspot capable for iPhone. Any free WiFi hotpots anywhere to use it.

No, WiFi hotspots are refer as WiFi tethering like MiFi, it is called hotspot mobile.
