said by gattaca:My problem with my Motorola Droid is that it is:
1. a product that was launched less than a year ago, and
2. is a product that is currently being sold.
and still Verizon/Motorola have chosen to lie about its capabilities and deliberately disable WIFI tethering for the clear purpose of upselling the Droid 2.
In my experience with Apple products (and I may be overlooking something) Apple has not crippled a product in such a manner when compared to its successor within a year of the original's release.
Apple instead launches a product without a feature (like mms) stops selling the old one and requires you to pay full price to upgrade to the new. At least with the Droid it isn't full retail price which is the whole point.
