first of all, the phone is $399. second of all, if you're an at&t customer chances are you're in an edge area anyways. and thirdly, edge isn't THAT bad
as an ATT customer, I can tell you that EDGE can be THAT bad, and furthermore, tethering "real internet" via edge would take forever. I remember doing it on my cingy 3125 back in the day and it was horrrrrrrible.
that was back in the day too, back around the time the iPhone launched they upped the speed of EDGE. and i tether quite often with my blackberry...it's really not that bad as long as you dont expect to be able to stream video or something very data intensive

Why would you want to tether a phone with that slow of a data speed. Just mail a letter it will get there faster and does not cost $499.
