I was actually expecting the opposite from FroYo, I personally wasn't smart enough to figure out how to tether the phone with my computer on 2.1 without paying for PDAnet which in my circumstances would do me no good. I read all about 2.2 and one of the points made was tethering capabilities, seems to me that Sprint may have altered the code to make it more difficult as opposed to more accessible!? Which blows my mind seeing as this is a 4G phone which can support speeds that in my opinion can only be appreciated on a computer! Hahaha, I laugh when I think about the irony in all this!!! We are all in the same boat and I feel we will never be satisfied....
So anyways, maybe you guys can shed some light on me with what I want to achieve. My wife and I both have EVO's and with the amazing 4G speeds we get at our house I would love to cancel my DSL and we can use our phones for our Internet needs. To activate BOTH phones to share internet would be $60 right? Out of the question since DSL is only 30. So I looked at PDAnet and that's great but I can only have it on one computer and I have a network with 2 desktops, a laptop, xbox, and my Dish Network. So I purchased a Cradlepoint which allows me to plug the usb from the phone in and then have ethernet out which I'd then run into the Linksys router and hit the ground running. I wish it was that easy! The cradlepoint cant find an internet connection on my EVO because with programs such as PDAnet you must have the program on your computer running as well so it does nothing!!!
I hope someone reading this can point me in the right direction and possibly work with me here, I am not clueless with computers but this phone has definitely got me stumped. Thanks to anyone that offers assistance!
