I agree, I travel with companies time to time and I've been away for the last 3 weeks now living in a hotel that charges $12.95 a day for internet access (when I only need it for about 25-45 min a day, as I don't have that much time in the room besides sleeping).
My TP2 with Wi-Fi tethering is a dream come true. I thought I would never really use it but, it is now something I could not live with out when traveling. I use it every day while in a hotel room and it works from a pretty good range (for a room).
Yea, the WP7 browser is better but, nothing beats a nice big screen and full size keyboard for web browsing and email.
I really don't want wired tethering if it can be avoided, plug in a phone, wait for windows to find and do drivers...could take a few min, wi-fi is up in a few seconds and on the internet in less than 5-7 seconds.
It would be that important that I would bring my TP2 and change ESN numbers when I travel....
I really hope this comes soon for WP7....also that I don't get charged from the carrier too....
