they probably haven't blocked it because they haven't found a way yet. its difficult to block on a wm phone because of the way it connects in the first place. its fairly primitive. a wm phone is basically a pda with a cellular network connection. so since it already has that network connection, its harder for them to block it. they can block the gps because that's related to the hardware itself.

yeah, thats what we had to change to.... it used to be I could tether and use wireless broadband from the 6800 for the $15/m pcs vision service lol...
I get what you say about them blockin the gps....but it was still hacked. I'd think they could do something to keep the 'typical' aka 'ignorant' user from using the phone as modem funtion without going through a 'sprint' program that signs them up... like their tv and radio and whatever else bs.... but I get what you mean, its built in to the PPC.... and the fact that it has cellular access isn't put their by sprint, they are just the ones that activate it.
they could request HTC to make it so the phone is not capable of internet sharing??? perhaps... i'm sure it'd be easy to break... but its like, looking at those data plans plus the extra $100 they pay for the card.... I just wanna be like, "hey, give me 20 dollars and i'll show you how you can do that with the phone you just bought instead, same line, no new equipment" lol
