Of course a rumored software update that will remove tethering to a computer/laptop kind of takes the shine off of this handset. Browsing with Opera Mini on HSDPA is not a lot faster than using Edge on my SE K550i or UMTS on my Nokia 6263, meaning not muchel of a boot. Using this phone as a cheap modem using T-Mobile's Total Internet ($20 a moneth) had a lot of folk excited, but with this rumor, now many are disappointed and holding off their purchase.
