I asked this in the comments section of the Tetherberry givaway but no response so I will ask here. Has anyone that won a free copy actually received their copy yet. I received an email 3 days ago asking for my PIN which I promptly sent and have received nothing yet concerning my free copy. I have however received promotional mail about purchasing of which I replied to inquiring about the free copy winners and did receive a quick reply explaining that they have 100 free winners to process.
My apologies if this post upsets anyone, but I'm having a really hard time keeping my own personal "rigid sometimes quite pompous business ethic" opinion to myself. Please let me know if you're a free copy winner and have received you copy yet.
I hope everyone has a Wonderful Sunday!

all these posters complaining and trying to scare everybody! i have been using pdanet for years and have never gotten any extra charges with verizon.
if we get charged then o well....just getting old,same warnings..we know we take a chance..we get it.
if you are scared dont buy it...

My reply is more directed at Tetherberry and there lack of acknowledgment of the T.O.S. their users ARE violating by using their software. Disagreeing with the status quo does not label me as a complainer, personally I could care less if you and others choose to use their software. Showing both sides of the "argument" allows people to make informed buying decisions, wouldnt you agree?enough already!!!!!..if you are scared to get fees dont buy and dont use it!!

Personally I would hate to spend 39.99+ and have VZW throw a injunction/cease and desist/etc to shut down the servers their way later this year.

03-15-09 02:59 PM - I agree with everything you've said. Nobody is holding a gun to anyones head forcing them to get TetherBerry. You do have options. If you don't like it then by all means go through Verizon's tethering plan. People have been tethering by non-Verizon means for years. There is also MobiShark for the BlackBerry and PDANet just put out a BlacBerry version. I don't see all of this legal questioning when it comes to those products. If you have a problem with the software just don't use it. I don't think the process is that difficult.enough already!!!!!..if you are scared to get fees dont buy and dont use it!!

Oh and im positive it violates VZW's TOS (Alltel is still being assimilated :P). (I work for VZW)

I can go on but there really is no need they are all the same generally, while I did invite the /flame on. Lambasting people and telling them to kill themselves for their opinions is just childish.Last edited by Kaus; 03-15-09 at 04:05 PM.
03-15-09 03:40 PM - Kbps (Kilobits) KBps KB/s (Kilobyte)It says they've heard of speeds up to 1800 kbps. Is that kilobits or kilobytes per second? There is a big difference between the two, that's why I'm asking. 1800 kilobytes would be too unreal!
