The way I see it this is not a good thing for HTC or Sprint that they are releasing a new phone that is already rooted. For sprint they where hoping to get that 29.99 for the HotSpot. who in their right mind would pay 30 a month when you can root and get free.
honestly, i would be very surprised if more than 10% of EVO owners root their phone, I don't think sprint is too worried. iPhone less than 10% are jailbroken; and while granted, the people in this forum are much more tech savy, the "masses" aren't going to go out to root it. of course, I reserve the right to be wrong
First Calk, now OMJ from the Diamond finally moving to an android device. I left my diamond for the hero and wasn't disappointed. Can't wait for the Evo. Realistically no one really knows what Sprint/HTC's true intentions are other than themselves. We can only speculate. From the release on engadget -> http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/evo-4g-on-sale-at-8am-on-june-4th-with-one-month-free-4g-mobile/ Sprint is fully aware of the Dev community and they acknowledge there will be other ways to enable Hotspot on the Evo however they try to persuade people into paying for theirs by saying theirs is the only one that will be truly safe and secure. Even though we will mostly likely have root day 1 for those who remain on the stock rom will at least be able to use 4G only for the Hotspot for free for at least one month.very nice Toast! Thanks for your hard work....looking fwd to cooking/flashing

50,000 rooted out of 2 million? hell no thats way to high lol, working for sprint or anything technology based ive really gotten to see how clueless people are. i had a customer come in and want a palm pixi because its "new" and her husband got mad at me because i said thats why you want this phone? lol it is what it is but i seriously doubt that many roots your giving way to much credit

50K based on the total downloads of the "Preware" homebrew application (you need to install in Dev mode on the Pre): http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/preware. Im expecting the EVO to be an even bigger hit obviously.
