I still don't see the point in hotspots. Sure you can surf the internet in fast speeds when you're near a hotspot but usualy when you're going somewhere how often do you stop somewhere just to check you're e-mail or see what friends added you on myspace? Unless you're really addicted to socializing over the internet then i understand stopping every other hotspot just to check up on the net. Which is why Wi-fi on phones is mostly pointless, sure it comes in handy every now and then when you're bored near a hotspot waiting for something. But if you're at your house why would you surf the net from your phone? Would'nt it be much more useful to jump on your laptop or computer to do all those things?
I rather have fast internet on the phone already provided by the company like Edge or other fast internet rather than jumping from hotspot to hotspot losing connectivity every 5 seconds when driving. Or having to stop somewhere just to get fast internet.

But that's just my opinion. :)
