if you are using 15gb a month on a $20 data plan thn i hope you and all of the iphone users DO go to somewhere else. i use about 100mb a month and it would be nice if it worked better thn a dial up connection on the rare occasions i actually need it.

My speeds are just fine and faster than dial up even after using a good bit of data, so why yours is very slow at under 100MB sounds like a hardware/software issue with your phone or plan. Also, the data plan is $30

Keep in mind I primarily tether (I'd say 90%+ of the time) between the hours of midnight to 7am, which are non-peak hours. I don't really download files a whole lot; just a lot of browsing, youtube, other streams (i.e. hulu or other streaming tv shows)...I also stream Pandora when working out and when I'm out and about. Internet at work only runs about 0.4mb down and 0.3mb up so even if I get a 1-1.5MB connection after going over 5gb it's still better than using work's internet. The only time I ever tether during the day is if Cable One fails me at home or I'm on a road trip, which hasn't happened as of late.

Android's for me as well. My personal phone (Evo4g - Sprint PCS) is my favorite thus far, followed by the Droid X that I use for work (VZW). I seriously contemplated buying an Ipad, but I had a HORRIBLE experience w/ TWO Imacs in a row (one wouldn't eject the disc and the second wouldn't stop emitting smoke....oh, and both were less than one day old) leading me to realize why I had avoided apple for all these years. But anyway, back on topic......Of all the phones that I've had over the years from the MotoQ to BB to HTC 6600 to Droid/Droid2 to Moment to Hero to Evo to Droid X, the Evo is by far my favorite....especially when rooted w/ a custom rom (I use Myn's "warm twopointtwo") and overclocked.

My essential apps (fun and work) for the androids:

ROOT THE DEVICE and run a custom kernel of your choice (Myn, Cyanogen, Damage Control, MikFroyo, etc...) http://theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/htc-evo-roms/
adfree
Adobe Air
Angry Birds
Apps2SD
Appbrain
Slide Android Market
Astro
Camera360
DoubleTwist (similar to Ipod controls)
Droidin (linkedin app)
ES File Explorer
Friend Stream
Gas Buddy
Gtunes (who needs Itunes?)
History Eraser
Mega Jump
NinJump
ROM Manager
Smart Coach (athletic trainer software)
TuneIn Radio
Wireless Tether
Zap A Minion

Jesus, you go through phones like you do jobs.

I like my DroidX, but like any phone you'll have, it bores me after a period of time. No new, interesting apps out there. I wish I could switch my I Am T-pain app to my Droid from my touch.

Even after a year now I agree that the HTC EVO is probably still the best Android phone as long as you get it updated to Froyo. If anyone wanted Android I would say that phone would be the way to go. I am using the HTC Desire HD, which is a clone but I still miss my EVO. Hands down the best phone on Sprint, and probably Android phone overall. Can't beat video calling or webcam'ing with friends on the go.

I am content with my Droid X. I like the regular Droid too but the X is quite an improvement.

As for phones, some of those were my wifes as well....and I'm sure I missed some

As for work (not that it's really anyone's business....) Prior to 2008 I worked for the same company for 9 years....then made a couple of moves within that industry over the next 2 years at which point I THOUGHT I wanted to get out and try some other things. So I went through 3 jobs in 1.5 years....2 of them in less than 6 months (got out early as soon as I knew that I didn't want to do them) then spent a year at Corwin's until I got a call from Dakota Security to be their regional sales manager at which point I got back into that industry.

Being out for that time was the best thing that happened to me, it was the first time in a long time that I had to work hard to make 1/2 of what I was making before. It changed my outlook on my work ethic. While it wasn't the best thing for my resume, it was the best thing for my career.

I have my old treo pro (same as tony I guess) and other than the OS locking up from tine to time I've been really happy with it. The only thing I wish it had was a pdf writer to make pdf's from word docs or excel. With the switch from Alltel to AT&T I'll be getting a free Palm Pre plus soon, so I'll use that for a while (hard to beat free).
