The reason Sprint is dismissing employees is because they are unable to retain customers or convince new ones to join Sprint.

I have used over 5 gigs just on my TP alone. I use it for internet on my Tablet Pc with no extra charges.

actually i tried this earlier, and it was surprisingly fast. Interestingly, its much slower through the usb cable than over wmwifirouter. through the usb cable, it worked, but was obvious that it was going through a cell phone. After installing and configuring wmwifirouter though, I browsed for about 10 minutes, browsing multiple pages at once, streaming from youtube, and even using RDP over the internet to my desktop computer at the other end of the house. i was very surprised at the speeds. pages loaded just as quickly as they do over my home internet (6mb cable). I have to give a big +1 to wmwifirouter, excellent software, well worth 20 bucks.

There used to be a free version that isn't near as nice as the new one, you might be able to hunt down a cab for that. But really, the paid version is nice enough to purchase. I use it a lot, comes in very handy.

Sprint does have a piss poor selection of phones unless your a teen or tween.

I will admit though the last few times I've called Sprint, I've gotten an English speaking person.

I always considered unpaid tethering to be ok for casual use but if I were using it as my primary connection I don't think I'd tether.

I'm surprised it doesn't lead to overheating. Mine gets hot when I tether.

The newest one is great, I used the same keycode from my old version that I was using on the mogul, and it works fine. I hit about 8-12 gigs per month. I have only been asked about it once, I told them I listen to sirius radio and watch slingbox unless I am interupted by a call.

yes you are correct, the few hundred people that actually know how to download the cab to hide the tethering charges are responsible for 8000 people losing there jobs. It is definitely not that fact that the country is in a recession and all companies are getting rid of all unneeded overhead.

I do agree people should not steal it though. but come on......
