"Hotspot" feature

---

Will it be possible to use the hotspot feature without paying the so called 29.99 fee?

PDAnet will allow you to tether, however it is for one computer only and involves some hokey DUN profiles if I read correctly.

Once Froyo arrives there is hope that Sprint will not disable the in-built WiFi capabilities.

Outside of that slim chance once root access is obtained there will of course be wifi.

sprint will disable wifi tether for froyo, 100% guarantee. wait for root.

Once the Evo is rooted you can just run WiFi Tether for Root Users. This works perfectly on the Sprint Hero.

Thanks... I will wait it out. I am sure it'll be done rather soon after release, shoot there is already a possible root already.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm probably the cheapest man alive with cell phone bills (I have ATT with unlimited data for 56 <_< apparently I use way over any kind of limit and I was grandfathered in with unlimited) I don't plan on using the30 dollar add on BUT I do plan to use tethering and since the Evo is already rooted and will probably have an easy method of rooting by the time the phone is released I plan on doing that then just updating to froyo when it is released (there are a couple tethering programs out there for rooted phones.)

This is the important question though...

Will Wireless Tether for Root Users funnel just the 3g connection, or will it also use the 4g radio connection? I'd hope the latter, but am skeptical. From an OS standpoint though, I'd think it just sees 4g as another radio connection, so I'm hoping there's some grain of chance that it will work.

I hope so too

I'm sure they will include 4G support, but it might not be until a CDMA specific Froyo build that has WiMax support built in. Right now the EVO's ROM has 4G coded into it, it's not really integrated into the OS.
