Wi-Fi Hot Spot coming to BlackBerry 7 OS devices via software update
Share:
That actually is not a totally incorrect statement since the BlackBerry Torch 9850 is indeed capable of offering a Wi-Fi Hot Spot. However, Sprint wants to inform its customers that the feature won't work until after the first major software update, planned for sometime in the fourth quarter. Crackberry hears that this will be required for all BlackBerry 7 OS devices to offer the Wi-Fi Hot Spot and that the software update will occur on a carrier-by-carrier basis.

The question is whether Sprint will allow the hot-spot to be activated without imposing a surcharge for the feature. I haven't turned on the hot-spot capability of my EVO 3D because there was a $20/month added charge if memory serves. One more oddity - the speed of the 3G data service using the EVO 3D is slower than the speed using a MiFi dedicated WiFi broadband hotspot.... Go figure that one. Speed of both (EVO and MiFi) in WiMax coverage areas is similar.

actually its a very nice phone. i tried it out for 2 weeks the day it was released. the phone was very fast, no lag at all. the only downside and reason i returned it was the lackluster apps. there was hardly any apps that were any good and pretty much everything in app world has a price tag on it. other than that, it was an excellent device.

I agree with you, I love my Blackberry and can't wait to get a 9930. Lack of apps do dissapoint, but it doesn't bother me.
