    Officially you have to pay extra for the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Unofficially there are a number of free and cheap apps out there that will do it for you without paying extra to Verizon.

    I've had one for about a month, and it's kinda BIG but I really like it.

    It's the only phone I've seen that I can read texts on without having to wear my reading glasses.

    Be sure to see one live somewhere before ordering, or you may be surprised by its size.

    My previous phone was the HTC Fuze (a Windows phone), and this thing is so much faster than the HTC, it's scary.

    I got one when they first came out...never had the "latest thing" so I was psyched. I use it for business...Google Calandar syncs automatically...email is seamless and instant. The kids play a few games. HD video looks great on a computer, 8MP camera is wonderful, (though not good indoors). The Google Navigation works beautifully. I love my X!!

    z4root to get root access to your phone (assuming you have the latest system update) and then Wireless Tether (available in the market) or Barnacle Wifi Tether (also available in the market) for to create and use the wifi hotspot.
