Sprint/phone rant...

[CoMoChief]

So......I'm not a huge smart phone tech guy.....just got my first smart phone a few months back.

Google Nexus S (Sprint)

Love the phone....one of the main selling points as to why I wanted this phone was to use it's portable wifi feature, and be able to use it's internet connection for my laptop computer when needed.

This feature worked flawlessly when I purchased the phone. However now, it stopped working. Tried fooling around w/ certain settings, and still nothing. The computer reads the signal clear as day and says has an excellent connection, but there's still no internet connection.

So I called Sprint. They said that I would need to pay an extra $30/mo to have this feature (WTF??) I was never told this when I bought the phone, and to be honest, this was a major reason why I bought this phone, it was between this Nexus S and an EVO 4G which I thought was too big/bulky. When I was at the Sprint store, the sales rep (whom I don't remember the name/or face) told me all there was needed was the $10 internet fee, which I agreed to pay in the contract. So long story short, Sprint kinda just told me to shove it up my ass, and tough shit if this main feature doesn't work.


Anyone else have this problem? Perhaps this ****head at Sprint is just being a crazy dumbass, and maybe it's the OS (Android 2.3.7) that needs an updated version?
