I would love this on Sprint too. I always use a belt holster, so fitting in my pocket isn't an issue. I don't really care about 4g either, and the lens might be better on this unit, so having less megapixels may not be an issue. What I love is the size........

I'll probably use this as my tablet, and my TP2 as my phone, and share the wifi on my phone for the web and watching videos

good luck, i had the same plan with the Archos 5 but Android doesn't support ad-hoc network connections

well if Android doesnt support ad-hoc then i guess this should answer the question if tethering for evo had infastructure or not once and for all huh

all I know for sure is that it won't connect to an ad-hoc, I don't know about creating or how exactly the hotspot software on the Evo does it, as usual, maybe HTC stepped in and fixed the OS's shortcomings

After 3 weeks I exchanged it for an HP Mini 210 that cost me $20 more (at the time Archos 5 cost $249 + $30 service plan + $20 cash = $299 HP Mini)
I think it was a great concept from Archos and down the road I may pick one up again, but the one I had was really buggy even after several hard resets. The Archos 5 was the first generation of Archos trying to put their proprietary media software along with Android and the two didn't coexist well, it froze a lot requiring a soft reset and it took a very long time to connect to a wifi network and sometimes I had to connect, disconnect, and reconnect (a process that sometimes took 5+ minutes) just to get it to work, which doesn't do well when it was supposed to be a quick internet access look something up on a nice big screen device.
BUT I do know that like 2 weeks after I returned it Archos dropped a big software update so it may be better now, I don't know, like I said, I may give Archos another shot down the road, especially now that they're shipping a 7 in. model

you all do know that the dell tablet can make calls and has its own "radio" right?. no need to share internet over the wifi given you have service on it

why even get it then?? having both this and an evo is just downright asinine. Just as bad as the pic pf the guy propping up his ipad with his imac while listening to his iphone. sad

I carrried a device this size (Sharp Wizard OZ-770) in the front pocket of my jeans, shorts, and suit pants for many years and had no problems with it at either work, play, or bar/clubs. I'm shorter than the average guy, too.

I believe that when used in conjuntion with a bluetooth headset, the 5" screen might be the perfect device to replace both a phone and a laptop.
For QWERTY addicts like me, it might take a 5" screen for me to give up a physical keyboard.
