Tethering? and speed

[invisik]

Hi all,

I'm a soon to be T-Mobile Blackberry convery to the 900. Can the thing tether? I need it for working when mobile with my laptop (just like I do with my Blackberry now). I've read conflicting reports about the ability to tether with Windows Phone as a whole. I don't care of it's bluetooth, wifi or USB just as long as I can do it.

Secondly, is the latency really that much better on AT&T LTE vs T-Mobile HSPA+? I do a lot of remote work and the latency is killing my on T-Mobile.

Thanks for any insight. See you all in line at AT&T in March!

We don't know about the 900 and tethering yet.

The Lumia 800 currently does not support tethering, although Nokia has said it will be provided at some point in the future.

WP does in general support tethering. Works on my Mozart, for example.

The 900 absolutely supports tethering, let me dig up a video.

Assuming you purchase a data/tethering plan fro AT&T.

Whoops, I stand corrected. Good news.

Nice. I just also noticed in the specs page at Nokia for it it says wifi hotspot for up to 5 devices.

I kinda want USB tethering so I don't add the additional latency of wifi, but I'll take what I can get...

Thanks much.
