Windows Phone 7 smartphones get tethering hack

The Windows Phone 7 revolution hasn’t really taken off to a flying start – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to make waves in the mobile scene. The good people over at xda-developers have managed to figure out a way to hack a Windows Phone-powered HTC handset, setting up USB tethering capability at the same time. This hack will require the use of a USB modem driver that has been ported from Android, where you will also need to know your carrier’s APN and connection settings. Apart from that, you will need to make sure that your handset is unlocked and intimately figure out your phone much more than your spouse. If you want to know just how far you need to go to achieve USB tethering on your Windows Phone 7 smartphone, then head on here – make sure you have the stomach for it first!
