Yeah, I still have mone too, as a backup. I even have my old Samsung i730, which was an awesome early phone of this type, with a slide-out keyboard, etc. I ran Windows Mobile 2003, I believe it was called. I once tethered the Samsung to an office whose DSL was down for a week, and ran 49 computers internet connections off of the Samsung i730 (they took turns in groups of 5 or so, checking their email). It kept them up and running for that week

By the way, for those that have an early unit, does Sprint have the Mobile Hotspot feature working? Will it work from anything other than a 4g connection?

Yes the Mobile Hotspot is working on both 3g and 4g networks

More like $20. Premier starts @ $69.99.

Great!! How does the "speak" feature on Google Maps 4.1 work, since on the TP2, you have to press the Send key to start the speak feature, and the Evo doesn't have a Send key?

yeah, and the fact you can't activate it on your number until the 20th takes the pressure off of switching over before you have everything working right, all data ported over correctly, etc.

You have to hit the search button while in Google Maps & a search box with a search & microphone icon pop up. It's probably a quicker way to do this I just haven't found it yet.
