i've been tethering with the 6700 for a year and recently switched to a 6800 with the knowledge that they might track tethering usage. although I only used it during emergencies, I still liked the fact that the option was there. now I have to press the ie button first?! wtf!? that royally sux. I like leaching but i'm not going to scab free modem tethering anymore if I have to press the ie button first.
seriously though, bfd. one extra button to press without regedits and nai hacking work for me. I still love my 6800.
p.s. hope you didn't think I was being an @sshole. just wanted to state that it's not a deal breaker for some.
