It allows your WiFi phone to broadcast it's data signal as WiFi. DuH! (I got 2 duhs! LOL).
DUH, that's great... the only problem is... you missed the CONTEXT of the thread, (the post right before yours), which was:

THEREFORE there really is NO POINT to have the Diamond involved, doing WiFi, since you are already around a WiFi hotspot... duh, duh...

Re: Internet is Expensive
the diamond gets hot using any application for extended periods of time. I use Sprint Navigation alot and it gets warm, i have it mounted to one of my AC vents in the car to cool it off.

Monkey, just because WiFi is available, doesnt mean its free.

Re: Internet is Expensive
OK I did some experimenting last night. For basic web surfing & torrent downloads it did better than I thought it would. I went to NBC.com to try watching streaming video & that does not work so well. It would freeze & skip a lot. For me that's not a deal breaker since I download most of the shows I want to watch any way.

it wasn't me that suggested moving next to Starbucks as a 'solution'... makes more sense to scope out free wifi when you're touring with your realtor, to find a place with neighbors you can mooch from ...

I had the same $10 data (before I jumped to SERO)... but you'll remember that it wasn't many years back that Sprint first implemented MO-SMS, before that they had Shortmail. And their Picturemail is very recent and still funky....

Re: Internet is Expensive
Internet Sharing is too slow for me. Fine for browsing, but not downloading and streaming. However, Sprint's new 4G (wimax) network could do the trick. But currently there are no phones slated to be 4G compatible, only aircards and modems. Basically Sprint will be entering the ISP market as a new competitor with their 4G (up to 12mbps network)
