I recently upgraded my phone to the HTC EVO from Sprint (which happened to be a couple of days before the EVO 3D was announced). Aside from just getting a faster phone, one of the things I was looking forward to was the ability to connect to the Internet anywhere.
I’ve spent the past couple of days in Orlando at Photoshop World. While I’ve had decent WiFi in my hotel room, there’s no free WiFi at the convention center. A quick call to Sprint got my service enabled (i.e., added to my bill) and then tapping the Sprint WiFi app connected me over 3G and some 4G (depending on where I’m at in the building for 4G).
All in all, it’s been a pretty smooth experience. I could stand it to be a little faster – particularly as I go deeper into the building and lose signal strength. However, it has handled most of my we usage quite well. I’ve published a number of posts from my MacBook while at the conference, and have really been able to make the most of the downtime. I’ve even been able to upload some decent sized photos on the spot. So, it’s definitely been worth the cost, which, by the way, is pro-rated based on your days of use. That works out to about $1 per day and I’m only going to use it for a few days. We’ll see when I get my bill, but Sprint customer service assured me that this is the case.
I know there are different ways to enable tethering for free; however, if you read Sprint’s terms of service, these methods could be construed as a violation. Additionally, the ones I have looked at aren’t quite the seamless experience that Sprint’s official method is. And, as long as Sprint hangs onto its unlimited plan mantra, its worth the price to me.
Kudos Sprint.

At CES HTC has unveiled some cool new 4G phones such as the EVO Shift 4G for Sprint, HTC Inspire 4G for AT&T, and HTC ThunderBolt for Verizon.
The EVO shift is a compact slider with a QWERTY keyboard running Android 2.2 and is available for $149.99 with a new 2 year contract and data plan on January 9th. The Inspire 4G is one of the first HSPA+phones on AT&T and is the first device in the US to enhance the HTC Sense experience with htcsense.com, an online service that extends the HTC Sense experience by allowing customers to find a lost phone on a map, send a command to make the phone sound an alert and remotely wipe all of the phone’s data with a single command. The Inspire 4G features are a 4.3 inch screen, an 8 megapixel camera, Dolby and SRS surround sound, active noise cancellation and a unibody casing machined from a single block of aluminum. The ThunderBolt, powered by a Qualcomm LTE chipset, also features a 4.3 inch screen, front and rear cameras, integrated DLNA support and HTC Sense. For more images and the press release hit the jump.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is an Android-powered tablet that features a 7-inch touch screen display, a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G connectivity. While Steve Jobs has dismissed the 7-inch Android tablet genre as a fad, there is a lot of buzz surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Tab as the first bit Android-powered tablet, which is headed to all major cell carriers. Check availability on Amazon.com.
The first batch of reviews for the Galaxy Tab are out. I’ve collated several reviews below and will attempt to update this list as additional, relevant reviews roll in. [click to continue…]

MobileCrunch has published its review of the Sprint HTC EVO.
It’s not the iPhone slayer. It might not even be the best Android phone available to date. But it is a solid phone with amazing hardware running the consumer-friendly HTC Sense Android release.

Wired has put the Sprint HTC EVO through its paces and thinks its hot stuff.
The hardware is smart and well-appointed, the interface is pleasant and straightforward, and it just plain worked. In short, it felt like a call from the future; one not dropped by AT&T.
Check out the full review via Wired. Additional EVO pics in the gallery below. [click to continue…]

Based on recent FCC filings and other tidbits, it looks like the Google Nexus One may soon be available for use on AT&T and Sprint’s 3G networks. As it stands now, the Nexus One is only compatible with T-Mobile 3G in the US, and is relegated to the Edge network for AT&T customers and is completely incompatible with Sprint’s service.
