Hear me out before you call me a cheap shmuck for not paying the extra $20 per month for wifi tethering.
I love Windows phones. I bought my dad one not because he liked it but because I liked it and I was in the middle of a contract and could not upgrade. When I saw what Nokia and HTC were doing with WP8, I fell in love so much that I wanted to buy an unlocked phone right this instant.
This is where Android comes in. I enjoy Android, I really do but WP8 is so much more exciting. However, the only thing stopping me from switching is the fact that I can download an app that allows me to tether freely. I can also root the phone which also allows me free tethering. I also happen to use it alot and will be using it more once my ipad ships.
I know WP7 had a hack that allowed folks to get free internet sharing/wifi tethering. However, will WP8 have that same hack? Will there be apps for us to download onto it? If that's the case, I'm switching over in a heartbeat...
Now why don't I just pay the $20 per month? I guess it's just a principle thing...If WP8 doesn't have it, I'll just have to sit on Verizon for another year before I bolt for T-Mobile and hope that the Microsoft Surface phone works on that carrier...
