I use PDAnet with my treo 700wx and now i have the TOUCH. i did nothing special with the treo and it connected to the internet with my laptop easily.
The TOUCH will not connect, is there something else i need to do?

What is ICS?

Anyways,
If I do use the Internet Sharing and make it connect to Sprint, will I still be charged for regular data usage since it's tethering?
When I look at the dial # for both Sprint and the "Phone as modem", it's the same number.

With the new billing system, Sprint can start charging you for PAM, or Phone As Modem. PAM is an add-on to your voice/vision plan and is $39.99 or $59.99 per month.

I use PDANet. A 15 day trial and a one time $35.
