I was excited about this device until I heard about coughing up an extra $10 monthly for 4G and an extra $30 monthly to run it as a wireless router.

On the bright side my Windows Mobile 6.5 device is still plenty fast on the Sprint 3G network and I'm not paying a dime more to run it as a wireless router.

I guess Sprint decided to follow Apple/AT&T in shooting themselves in the foot when it came to data and tethering on their flagship device.

Thanks for nothing Dan...and while you're at it why don't you look into improving your poor customer "lack of support" at your Brookfield, Wisconsin store.]]>May 12th 2010 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sprints-htc-evo-4g-put-through-its-bandwidth-sucking-paces/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sprints-htc-evo-4g-put-through-its-bandwidth-sucking-paces/

...Even with the 10 bucks added in, it's still arguably the cheapest and best plan out there....

And $30 extra for the equivalent of an Overdrive? An amazing value if you ask me.
