Totally Agree . .

I've been tethering for years now (previously on symbian, and for the last couple of years on winmo). My most recent device (HD2) even gives me the wireless hotspot option, so I can leaverage 3G speeds on my laptop and other devices at the same time while the phone is in my pocket. Often used this with friends when a couple of people need to use their laptops.

Whats the point in having an unlimited data package if you can't use it.

I paid for it.

So I should be able to do what ever I damn well please with it.

Same goes for my phone.

I amazes me that with all the restrictions around the iphone, the high price and the various issues that plagues the new device, that people still go out and buy it?

But each to their own, I'm sure they are just as happy with their devices as I am with mine. I just have the advantage of being able to do what I want with my device, rather than "jailbreaking" (Still thik that term sounds stupid) or paying extra for what I have already paid for?
