Yeah, there is no way the 6700 is going to charge over the USB while tethering! An active EVDO connection is going to bring d@mn close to the 500 mA limit that is specified for a USB port. And if you tethering with a laptop, running on it's batteries alone (no AC cord plugged in) the USB spec says the laptop only needs to supply 100 mA to the USB port.
