Re: End users installing hacks for tethering
What is there to get over really. It has a nice screen and up to date specs. It has a slightly out of date OS that is promised (…….) to be updated in a few weeks! (though no word on what will be the up to date OS in a mere month, Android 3.0).


It’s not nice to constantly have to fight against the OS and carrier doing sneaky tricks to get things done. This kind of attitude is counterproductive. The idea of Open Source is for things to be in the open and shared, not constant insurgency.
No word on crucial features like how tethering will work. And it only satisfies entertainment and casual communications users (no hard keyboard).


I’m only asking for simple tethering, which is offered with all smart phone plans and works smoothly with the iPhone 4.
People need to raise their standards, ask for more, is Android just another OS or is it in any way “open?” If it’s just another OS, seriously, get an iPhone, cause at least they can get their hardware together and Apple, for all their totalitarianism (which I couldn’t tolerate), acts on behalf of their users for what the carrier provides (visual voice mail, tethering, early upgrades, etc).

Reasonable ways for people to run their own handset on Roger’s system would also be reasonable (eg unsubsidized plans).
 
Thanks.
