- jrockway 17y agoTake your iPhone to an Apple store and use their computer to install the "update"? Incidentally, the open-ness of Windows Mobile has meant that WinMo phones on ATT have had unlimited tethering forever. It doesn't have a really pretty icon, though...

- mrtron 17y agoTethering has very little to do with the platform, and much to do with the carrier. Carriers want to be able to charge for it regardless of which phone you own. As for the 'pretty icons'... Apple/RIM/Google are realizing that users are beginning to care less about what hardware their phone has, and more about what they can do on their phone. All 3 are focusing on providing app driven platforms, and Apple did well to grab the early lead. I don't see a future for winMo in that ecosystem.
- encoderer 17y agoCarrier restrictions are enforced at the platform level, though. If you have a data plan and the OS lets you push bits from your PC thru your phone, it all looks the same to your carrier.
- jrockway 17y agoI don't see a future for winMo in that ecosystem. Sure, WinMo sucks hard. But it's open, and that means you can do whatever you want. Android is probably the most logical successor, although T-Mobile would really like you to pretend that Android is closed.
- ankhmoop 17y agoBuy a Mac? Just kidding. Mostly. If you browse to http://help.benm.at/ http://help.benm.at/ from your iPhone (UA checking), you can download a carrier profile that will enable tethering. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. I recommend downloading the carrier file manually and verifying its contents before applying the setting changes.
