When she had it on my account I was able to connect via USB to my PC and browse the net using my mobile connection. As soon as she removed it, I was unable to browse the net.

Someone will need to come up with an Internet Sharing Fix similar to what they did with jailbreaking the Iphone and also what I used on my WM6 device.

While I understand there could be some abuse by users, if you read the find print Sprint can shut you off for too much bandwidth anyhow.

Anyone else have other ideas?

btw.. I didn't have Wifi turned on .. it was off.
