I seem to recall that the Hero book (the one that comes with it) includes 
tethering instructions.

It doesn't matter to me, though, because I bought a MiFi about two months ago, 
with a two-year add on to my contract.

I'm still learning the ins and the outs, but I think I'll keep it.  Anyone 
have experience with battery vendors? Google finds many at many price points, 
but I'd like to buy from someone where I know someone with experience.

If you've got Sprint version, or know someone who does, here's a great thread 
on battery life:

But I think I'll just go back to my oldest phone; sure it's big and bulky, and 
almost requires two hands to carry it around, but it has a full size handset 
(not quite as heavy as my old AT&T dial phones, but close) and it's fully 
analog.  Of course I can't.  I don't have it anymore, and the network isn't 
supported.

And to think that when I went shopping all I wanted was a telephone, sms, and 
bluetooth.
