Switch to Sprint Rich! Solves both problems (if you like Sprint's service)

Why not just tether the iPad to your phone and not have the added expense of an extra connection? That's what I do with my android tablet.

Don't have to jailbreak to do that here in Germany, but always an option in HI, main concern would be battery drain.

Well without a jail break you have to pay extra to turn it into a hotspot, I think androids can do it easily though.

Lol at iphone 5

Driod beats iphone in most aspects expecially customizability. (something i thought you were fond of steven)
Apple always pulls the "we have the retina display" card! But thats about all they got. Plus the intentionally downclock older phones to make them appear slower so you will upgrade to the newer model. (proven so dont say its false.. Ppl have already read the clock speed changes for different devices in the ios operating systems)
In my opinion. Apple is too controling.
I wont be going back..

As for at&t i wont use them.. Im with sprint. I cant stand limited data as i stream pandora all day at work.

Jailbreak = done, all the customization one could handle.

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 and kept my unlimited Verizon.

My hero^^^!!

I don't have a problem with droids, as you said, I prefer things that are open to changes. Just noticed with the androids I've had and my friends have had, they seem to just get slower and slower everyday, while the iPhones just keep chugging along, regardless of whatever conspiracy theory you've bought into.

My old EVO ran like a champ until it forced me to update. There was literally no need for me to ever buy another phone. It was perfect for me.

Then it became super buggy.

RIP my HTC EVO 2011

My 4s was jail broken from the time it came out until a couple months ago, no issues at all.

Note 2? Enjoy your laptop!
