    there's still a rumor floating around tmonews that a software upgrade will remove tethering support
    this can bring negative impact that
    1. massive return, or customers would't buy this model, which can affect sales
    2. flashing, this will void warranty
    it's better T-Mobile doesn't do such stupid thing, because this only annoys customers

    Is that going to be the pattern from now on? No more tethering on feature phones?

    This phone was beta tested by myself and 700 or so other New Yorkers - not sure if ya'll remember the "Portable Internet Browser" beta test that was listed here a couple of months ago. This turned out to be it. We spent a month beta testing nothing but the crap browser the device ships with. At no time does it state that its NetFront. It has no built in Flash support which NetFront does.

    You must be crazier than you sound. If you tested in a beta, why did you just post what you did. NDA breaker.

    I've used Google Maps, no problem. It does have the My Location, but does not use the internal GPS for it but the cell network so not as accurate.

    Does anybody have the gps working on their tm506? I can't seem to find satellites. I wonder if it has to do with me being just north of downtown chicago.

    will try out later today (it's Friday here already)
    will test EVERYTHING, including tethering with cable and bt
    because I was bugged by this post from tmonews.....

    I dont want to disagree with you on my first couple of posts here but t-mobile is 100% not supporting tethering it as a modem - and will be instituting a software update to remove the modem option from the device itself. This is due to a negative impact on the 3G Network itself.
