Sprint Lays Out Smartphone Roadmap
Sprint no longer allow tethering?
Are you kidding me? No more tethering on Sprint Smart Phones??? Well this may finally drive me to another carrier!
why tether anyways? it's so expensive and you get S...L...O...W... speeds. it only costs like $15 more to get a ton faster speed with a connection card. And besides that, why switch, every other carrier is trying to phase it out too. you're going to l...

That was the most significant part of this article in my opinion. This infers that they will have WiMax smartphones soon and no intention to allow users to benefit via tethering. I wonder if Verizon will do the same when they get LTE up and running....

What happen to Nextel!?
Poor Nextel, still living in the ice age, no future data & voice improvement.

Sprint has the best total device line up in the industry

About the tethering thing...
I suppose they refer to this:
Some sprint customers are able to tether without a PAM plan, I've heard from a guy that has the Instinct (PAM plan not compatible) & he was able to tether.
Probably what Sprint its telling us is that in phones that are tethering without a PAM plan or non PAM plan compatible that are tethering will no longer do it.

This is something that they could have just resolved in their Switch. Making an announcement signals that they are simply going to stop allowing it on PDAs.
For the same reason Verizon has them, so they can attract international travelers. One of the biggest drawback of CDMA carriers is their phones can't be used in Europe which is problem for some business users.

If you are a Sprint customer like me and travel out of the US, you want to have a CDMA/GSM phone otherwise you need a spare gsm phone beside your regular phone.
So far Sprint has a poor selection of CDMA/GSM phones. Beside TP2 (too bulky) and BB To...

PDA's
Why are there no Sprint PDA phones with Direct Connect Qchat? Don't all AT&T's smartphones have PTT? All sprint's phone's should have the option to have it. They have the ability to put PTT on there......any reason why they don't?
Honestly it is a dying technology. If you look at Nextel's network, it can not handle really any data at all. It would cost more money to do, than the return. Texting and social networking on the internet is taking over a lot of that direct connect an...

Why need tethering?
If they are going to introduce a mifi like feature in the phone, it is essentially tethering. It just broadcasts the signal, which in turn is better, because you can connect more than one computer. Right now, Sprint has tethering for free or dirt cheap, the other carriers charge a lot for it. I think it is a great idea for a wireless "tethering."
That explains why they are getting rid of it.
Don't give up on the Pre...
The Pre has the potential to rattle the iPhone. It needs work, but as a platform it's far ahead of Android or the giant turd that is WinMo.
Sprint is only going to be an also-ran with Android and WM.

In what way, shape, or form is Pre ahead of Android?

The Pre's OS has already surpassed the function and abilities of the iphone. They both use the same OS platform and CPU chip. But the Pre utilizes the platform much more effectively in operation. The iphone is very simple to use but cannot perform to ...
