I could not believe that it did not have the option of tethering. I use my blackjack every single day to tether my home computer so that I have access to internet of a night. Why in the world would I pay two internet service fees at $40 to $50 a month when I am already paying for unlimited internet on my phone. My blackjack tethers to my desktop and I did a speed test with a 1.34Mb/second download result! I was about to buy an iPhone yesterday.

I BOUGHT ONE, AND HADN'T DECIDED IF I WOULD KEEP IT. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT THERE IS NO TETHERING, I WILL SELL IT. MY XV6700 IS A FAR BETTER PHONE IN ASIDE BY SIDE. I CAN ACTUALLY EDIT EXCELL, WORD OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT FOR THAT MATTER, INSTEAD OF JUST VIEW AS PDF. I CAN ADD MP3 OR VIDEO IN STORAGE CARD, BETTER FASTER NETWORK, AND IT TETHERS. PLUS IT HAS A STYLUS, WHICH I LIKE BECAUSE I HAVE FAT GREASY FINGERS. AGREED. I BOUGHT ONE, AND HADN’T DECIDED IF I WOULD KEEP IT.

Plus why do I want to spend additional money for another cell card because this neat toy isn't business friendly.

Why is 3G missing from it? Why doesn't it have iChat or other common instant messenger applications? Basically, Apple created a phone with enough golly-gee-whiz in it to blind people to the fact that Apple and AT&T are seriously screwing you over in terms of features you'd expect from a high-end phone. “But still, it would be interesting to know why this now-basic function is missing from what is otherwise such a cutting-edge device.”
