I'll also give you two word on why I'll never deal with spring ever again: SPRINT ION

They so bent me over on that fiasco! They screwed up my house wiring for phone and hi-speed internet connection for 6 weeks! Once it was all setup and running fine, 2 weeks later they discontinued Sprint Ion and I had to scramble to get back to a regular phone service and DSL Which was another 4 weeks of HELL.

I may not like Verizon's pricing and crippled phones, but at lest the coverage is consistant and so far I've had mostly excellent customer service.

Does anyone know if the VZW version has ICS installed? Thinking about the WMWifiRouter. Thanks, Bruce

WmWiFiRouter doesn't depend on ICS being installed, so it doesn't matter. Well maybe you still want to know, but just saying that ICS isn't a requirement

Thanks, must have mis-read that on the WMWifiRouter site.

So I guess more to the point, will it work on this phone?

Shame that Verizon does this. I've been considering getting the Pro since they seem to be taking FOREVER to get the Diamond out. But it drives me crazy when they do stuff like this. It's more money for less phone with Verizon. I'd ditch them but since 99% of the people I call have Verizon, it's nice to be able to talk to them without fear of burning up minutes (I would "use" probably 3 times more minutes than I have if it wasn't for free Verizon to Verizon).

OK I re-read WMWiFiRouter's website, and it does indeed say you need internet sharing. So I WAS WRONG. Sorry! I thought the whole point of this program is that you could circumvent the need for ICS on the device. So someone who has a VZW, can you confirm whether ICS is removed or not?

Even if it is removed, it is easy to put back on...

It is not needed. I installed the latest wifirouter on a clean vzw touch pro and it worked just fine.

Great, and thanks to all. I'll give it a try!
