no yur carrier chooses yur phone features in a sense.. in this case youd be talking about the radio.. anyone know if thats falls under htc?

your carrier can tell the manufacturer what they dnt want on they device they wish to brand.. like the FM feature possibly, maybe sorint didnt wanna deal with this so opted for it not to be avaible to us.. that no diff than blocking your ability to use GPS...

i know sprint atleast didnt offically unlock winmo ohones for gps usgage, until th 6.1 release... they had every right, not to allow us to use that feature

i'm gonna try to get this thread back on track. i've never tethered before and just tried to do it. and it doesn't work. so if i use the ics hack which means i am going around not paying sprint $15/month for pam then how is ics not a ware?

Sprint cannot strip all account features, even those no offered anymore (ie: Sprint pick 3, no charge on roaming fee, Mobile 2 Home, etc,)

What accounts can have this happen? Id don't know honestly & I don't have to worry.

Ask exectutive services, honeslty I don't recall those that are after the July date, except for corporate/business accounts & pre exsisting, the latter is my account & the assurance from exective services.

Call them to get a better understanding. The business accounts without a doubt are not affected.

The TOS you're looking for would obviously not be available on a new account, they changed it.
It hovever did not change for all exsisting accounts. Again this is not universal.

Even the OT issue of the IS lock, it isn't universal.

My hard copy TOS, god knows where the hell that is, if I could pull history of passing the limit I would but hey, I can still post each month on; of me doing so.

5 months & no warning, none. No slow down no email propoganda encoraging, no call, no letter.

I trust only what I hear from executive services & hard copies, anything else is not official nor fully accurate.

Again you were close but not completely right. You have a hard time grasping that.

"sprint reserves the right to make changes to your plan, with or without our knowledge, im pretty sure the fine print will read..

and biz accounts, that exactly who the new AE plan with included PHONE as MOdem for 149.99 is for...and guess what 5gb cap.

your outdated TOS agreement in a little booklet that came with your phone may not mention this change but, no matter what data plan, service you use.. there is no true "unlimited everything" after july 08, all those website dog sprint for limiting the everything plan..

the fact is sprint can change your terms as they see fit, whenever they want, and without consequence.. and the first time you pay a bill after that change happens you are now agreeing to the new TOS agreement..

look at the cap their about to put on limiting asruion claims to 3 per 12 months period.. it even says "once you pay your bill, after those changes go into effect, your agreeeing to the new terms... your not gonna be grandfathered in so to speak under some old term you think your entitled to

i think the warez point honestly is un winable for either side... however that doesnt mean we shouldnt ban the topic... based on the fact that in both instances of warez and tethering(without proper plan) are both stealing in nature.. so its the same 2 evils of stealing, its just debatable are we merely only stealing a service, or are we in fact are we stealin service and manipulaing software to gain access..
