Didn't know the price and service-like(not wimax yet) was already available.
Where can I find the hack for the palm centro? How many hours would the battery run with connection to the internet...the same as talking time? (just wondering cause there's a service http://www.mobivoip.net/ where you can use sip straight from your phone).... What about if I run it with my n800?(less time because of bluetooth?) and my nokia??

Thanks...

WOohoo 35 dollars for unlimited calls through sprint, killer
I've got a Treo 755p with Sprint EVDO... First of all, MobiVOIP is a crappy program. The best Palm VOIP client is Articulation. Secondly, once you try VOIP over the Palm, you'll probably want to stick to Wifi for it, even with the speeds of EVDO, it still doesn't sound that great. You'll most likely get around 200-500kbps downstream, and if you're lucky 100kbps or so upstream, so not that good really. If you want faster speeds (especially upstream) you'll want something that supports EVDO Rev. A instead. The battery for the Centro is smaller than the 755p, but I get 8 hours worth out of the 755p battery, while having the data connection constantly on for push email. I've never had a Bluetooth connection active for long enough at the same time to know how long it'll last.

The hack for tethering is here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=115986

I'm not entirely sure its been tested on the Centro though, since I don't have one. If you read the instructions there too, you'd have to copy the file to the card and then use a specific program (Resco explorer) to copy it to ram.
