How often is "sometimes?" For what it's worth, the same happens to me using Internet Connection Sharing on my Sprint Mogul (waiting for 2-yr ). Sometimes I can browse for an hour or two, sometimes I'm disconnected after ten minutes. It appears to be coming from Sprint's end.

Suspecting this I've found a sort of art to maintaining the connection for > hour stretches. Perhaps it's superstition, but two things seem to reduce the breaks:
1) Not loading multiple links simultaneously while browsing. Perhaps they notice the hightened traffic?
2) Maintaining a small connection while idling/reading by having an IM client or mail client polling in the background. Maybe they periodically reset if they think it's just the phone?

My two cents.
