Plus I am not so sure about the whole not having a physical keyboard thing But I'm sure if I could actually play around with a 3D that I'd be more willing to pay the extra $20 One question, I know if you have 4G at home, you can use the phone as a modem, but if I hook up my computer to the phone how fast is it compared to a cable modem? I was thinking if I could ditch my home internet service that would save me $40 a month, but I have a feeling it would be too slow to do things like stream netflix right? I don't play games online so that's not an issue.
You can definitely stream Netflix over 4G. The Evo 4G actually has a Netflix app that streams it just fine. I don't know about it replacing your home broadband connection though. I guess if you are the only one that uses your home connection it would probably work. But if you have a family and everyone shares the connection, plus several directv receivers using the broadband connection, and a PS3, Xbox, Wii, etc, then I don't think it would work too good.

Sprint's 4G speed varies greatly depending on where you are. On the low end you can expect about a 2 meg download, and on the high end it goes up to about an 8 meg download. Both of these are give or take a bit, of course, but you can reasonably expect to be between about 2 and 8 megs on the downstream at all times when you have a 4G signal.

There is no need for warez on Android. Everything is already free.
