Been pushing it hard to see what the limits are, and it flat out is great. Plus endless apps without having to adapt them to the phone. Yeah, I know this is all just my opinion( and we all know what they say about opinions ). But, from here on out I'm strickly Android. Only thing I might do is see if I can Overclock it. Yes, I'm that guy. Always gotta fiddle with things, see if I can make it go faster.

go to xda under the evo shift section and look for tweaks, roms and updates. enjoy your phone man!

btw im in michigan too!

I also came from a custom rom tp2 when I got my evo. I didn't find it a challenge, I found it refreshing and easy to use. Yes it is true that winmo has alot of tweaks you can do but it felt good using an os that didn't crash all the time. I can't wait till sprint gets dual core phones like the atrix. Right now motorola is stepping up the game. I hope htc will do the same. I like htc more but if they keep doing the same old thing I will have to look elsewhere. Should be an interesting couple of months.

It was easy.

1) Download and install Astro File Manager from Market.
2) Download and install z4root from xda-developers.
3) Download and install Wireless Tether from Market.
4) Run Superuser; set to temporary root.
5) Run Wireless Tether; set WPA password; enjoy.

Root was originally the username of an administrative account on a Unix operating system that had full privileges to change or execute anything.

On Android, rooting is a procedure to give oneself full control over the cell phone--including, in this case, the ability to run a WiFi hotspot without paying a special $30/month fee to Sprint.

Creating a temporary WiFi hotspot is very useful if you want to browse the web on your netbook while eating lunch alone at a restaurant that doesn't offer (or doesn't maintain) free WiFi.

You can do wired tethering with PDA net for fee without rooting (or so thers have said). No need to use the wireless tethering, just do wired. Wireless tethering also sucks battery power like no ones business.
