Welcome. I came over from the TP and I have no regrets.
I believe you can buy PDAnet to tether without rooting your phone, but rooting is easy.
Been on Fresh.6 rom for five days and have had no bugs.

I haven't noticed any issues with Fresh's ROM as of yet.. It just takes some programs off and makes the phone feel a bit snappier and it has WiFi tethering

it will show up in your wireless networks as G1tether. Just connect to it and your good to go.
