I'm debating the WiFi hotspot because I'll most likely end up gettin a WiFi iPad for Christmas.
The unlimited 3G on the iPad is $29.99 (Not real happy about that). Plus I don't wanna have my fam spend $729 on a 3G 32gig iPad when the WiFi is $130 dollars cheaper at $599...
I'd rather just pay Sprint for the WiFi hotspot so it's all on one bill. Plus I have a netbook somewhere I rarely use.
My question is...Can the WiFi hotspot be added later on without extending the 2 year contract that I'm about to begin the day the Evo drops?
I really hope not cause I'm not gonna use it til like January. Mad dumb to pay for WiFi I'm not even gonna be using...
Or is there a way to tether to the Evo's 3G service for free? Like an app or something?
if your phone is rooted yes. i currently use a rooted G1 and if i get the Evo it will be rooted also i will not give sprint an extra $29.99 a month for that service when i can do it myself

What does rooted mean?
Like a jailbroken Android?
This is gonna be my first Android phone.

As funny as it sounds, this $199 phone just turned into $439 phone with this up-charge. You cool paying for $199 + $1679.80 (the minimum plan) + $240 for this phone? I'm not. If someone is in an non-4G area they still have to pay for it. I'm not entirely sold that this phone is worth that, especially considering I have a SERO plan. How much is the basic iPhone plan?Originally Posted by Fade On You

yo ninja im payin $110 a month for a G1 with 1,000 minutes free nights and weekends and unlimited data plan. it's ROBBERY compared to sprints simply everything plan. Why would i drop 5 bills on a nexus one and stay with tmobile when i could drop $300 with sprint for the Evo and pay like $90 a month?Originally Posted by ninjahood

Well I don't know if you guys know but i have not seen any posts, you can preorder your EVO 4G at BESTBUY starting yesterday. I just came back I was the 2nd person so you just gotta put down a $50 deposit. ANYTHING TO GET AWAY FROM T-HORRIBLE!
They got me hard body, dude in the store was telling me the $30 mobile hotspot is required but I know different... atleast I think I do.

Sprint customers of 3 yrs or more get a loyalty discount, and Premier advantages...due to some glitch my contract never renewed itself when i purchased the Touch Pro in 2008 (so i have about 4 years of discounts coming my way stemming from 2006) so i spoke to my usual acct rep at a sprint store and he priced the everthing plan for me it's coming out to about 69.99 w/ the added wifi hot spot service from the everything plan i have now that's 126 a month, but i just can't se myself having a need for it...plus why should i have to share my signal for someone else to mooch off it...plus i'm pretty sure there'll be a work around, but i can't wait for June 4th

Here's the current breakdown for plans with the least amount of minutes (450-500) and unlimited everything else:
I've seen the HD2 offered from $50-150 through 3rd party vendors so you can deduct whatever you'd save there from the total.
I don't know yet if it's the principle or my income, but I can't bring myself to leave my plan.

There was a time that you’d need to slip on your hardhat (which – for a geek – translates to a pair of ugly bifocals) and get down and dirty with your phone to unlock compelling features such as installing apps onto the SD card, and tethering your phone with other devices to use as a hotspot.
