I'm planning to kick them to the curb, if that mobile hotspot app works great on the Evo.
It makes sense for me if a customer paid full price for an android/webos/etc phone to use it without a special plan. But, Sprint and Verizon don't allow that. Unless something changes, to open up the networks, prepare to upgrade to use new devices.

Sprint and Verizon are the big ones, but there are smaller ones like Cricket and Metro that will activate any phone. There are also MVNOs like Page Plus (Verizon MVNO) that will activate any unlocked CDMA phone too.
