Re: ha
well, this is really a non issue since users can install any app they want as long as they do it themselves. |

| It's still pretty annoying. I was truly looking forward to the day when I'd be out of my contract with V* later this year, but after researching things like the lack of VOIP last night, and now this, I've pretty much given up on TMO having a desirable product. This smacks too much of the things I've already had to do with my V account. If I'm going to have to hack my phone, there's not much incentive to dump Verizon for a different carrier. |

This aint an iphone, or a VZW stripped-down OS.
To get any of those tethering apps, all you need to do is find the installer and download it.

| I don't mean hacking in the typical sense, I should have said attempting to use it in an unofficially sanctioned way. Instead of being the knight in shining armor, they are turning into another Apple with the IPhone. And they haven't looked at how Apple's hard line hasn't stopped people, it just pisses them off instead. |

Jailbraking an iPhone IS an unofficially sanctioned way but this is completely normal and official. Choose your words wisely as it sometimes results in the spreading of FUD.
