There is an APK thread in the general android discussion forum with an apk that seems able to do this on any phone on any version, but you must be rooted..

Only thing is, I'm not sure if its stealth tethering or not, I asked a while ago and got no response. Not sure how it is for US Cellular but Telus in Canada charges $8/MB if its not part of your plan. Steep. Although that makes me wonder something, when I activated my desire they forced me off y IM,E-mail and WEB 35 which had unlimited data as the plan was "not compatible" with their new HSPA network. The new plan I am on says something in the fine print about tethering inclulded but the sales rep had no idea if it was or not. So maybe they include it now and just don't advertise..anyone know?
