Re: Tethering on the Arrive?

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....
I made the change to WP7 and it has great potential. But I am too a little upset about losing my Hotspot that I had with my old TP2. For now I'm borrowing a hotspot device from work and it is quick and easy to setup. But I wish my new HTC Arrive had that built in feature or app so that I don't have to keep borrowing and carrying around that extra device.
