The local sprint store told me that if the phone is rooted then they have the right to refuse service. It is at the discretion of the tech if he would like to help you out. but the company warranty is completely voided.

I found swype to be very cool, but I am used to typing and not swyping. So I switched to non-swype predictive which I fond great.

We pretty much knew it was coming... but this only says what we knew already: "coming in the next few months.'"

I though I read somewhere that it will... but I could be making that up.

I would venture to say it'll be released earlier then that, if they already have an ad for it.

I hope you're right. I've been waiting for this ever since I found out Sprint's iPhone wasn't 4G.

Amen.

It was a leaked ad, don't count on it anytime soon IMO.

A new tethering app that doesn't require root/jailbreaking. Its very early in development but keep an eye out for it.

"Over the last month, I've been working on a new app.
Tether Alpha is a USB[2] tether solution for Mac, Windows, and Linux that allows you to use your phone's data connection to get internet access on your desktop or laptop.ClockworkMod Tether does not require root on your phone and does not require a separate tethering plan. Tether should work with any carrier and phone, and is not blockable or detectable by carriers[1]. To get around the root requirement on your phone, Tether will need to install a virtual network adapter on your computer; so there is a PC side install. [3]I'm looking for meaningful feedback in the following areas:1) Did you have problems installing it or getting it working? (If so, operating system? Ie, Windows 7 64 bit, etc)2) How is your download speed once everything is set up?The UI is pretty rough, the icons, and general app design are not final. I am just looking to make sure the underlying services all work properly.Download links:Mac: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/tether-mac.zipLinux: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/tether-linux.tgz [4]Windows: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/TetherWindowsSetup.msiThe above links should automatically install the Android portion if you have USB debugging enabled on the phone, but if something goes awry, here's the Android APK:http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/Tether.apkI am intentionally not providing any installation instructions, because I feel that if the app can't be set up without installation instructions, I have failed to make it easy enough to use. ;)So please provide any feedback you may have if you have a hiccup during installation! (The final market released product will have instructions though)This version will time bomb on January 7th. I'll release new versions before then, so if the app stops working, just check back here.Thanks all!"

Great phone BTW, just wish there were any half-decent jewish apps for Android.  The dearth of them is shocking coming from Palm OS.
