About 5 weeks ago I saw contractors installing 4G equipment on an existing Sprint tower near LAX. LA is supposed to get 4G this year too. If 4G is just 3mbps, it's not too compelling for me, because EVDO rev A on my phone and MiFi averages about 1.2mbps most places in LA.
The hotspot feature would be nice but again, at $30 more per month it's not worth it. I have a WiFi router app for my Windows Mobile phone, but I'd rather use my MiFi than kill the battery in my phone by tethering.
- ilamont 16y agoHigh monthly fees and add-on charges like the hotspot will be big for consumers, but business users who get these devices through work won't feel the pinch directly.
- byoung2 16y agoTechnically, the extra charge for the hotspot is the same as for non 4G Sprint phones. They charge extra for phone as modem on most phones unless you hack it. I'll wait and see how long it is before someone hacks this to provide free hotspot use.
