This weekend, a Sprint Blackberry 8330 user posted an unfortunate experience to the EVDO Forums. The user explained that Sprint had removed the tethering (aka "phone as modem") feature from his Blackberry without notice, and upon calling Sprint, he was told that he could not reactivate the feature as it was now only available to corporate-liable customers (accounts set up under a federal tax ID).
