I can't help but think its HTC and not Sprint that does this crap. Sometimes I wonder if Sprint even knows what HTC is doing. I want to smack HTC upside the head. Like I don't think it was Sprints idea to take the Android Launcher out of the software. That is HTC because they want you to use Sense.

Didn't think of it that way. Yikes.

It's all about the tethering...... even if openess and more people online(read tethering) is what google wanted can, Sprint's infrastructure handle it?

Should we all have access to the internet a dirt cheap rates and see what good comes from it?
Answers:
Google=yes, we will make money off ads or some other secondary income stream and the public will clamor for it
Sprint=Hell to the no... there goes our business model... end of story


IMHO

Yep pretty much, Sprint need to jus start paying these guys.

I don't smell any constipation as much as I smell a mole.<finger pointing> That was genius to give developers an early release.
