Just applied the update now and a new item appeared under System Settings -> Internet Sharing.

Woohoo!  Internet tethering is now supported on the Trophy.

WP7 rocks!

Confirmed internet sharing functionality on my Vodafone HTC Trophy WP7. Long time coming but now competing with Apple "tethering" and Android "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot", and superseding Symbian ^3.

I cannot pin Internet Sharing to the home page, so I?m wondering if anyone knows of a widget to control this feature from the front screen (marketplace search returned nothing, but maybe the terms are different in WP7)?

That's pretty strong.

HTC Trophy is an adequate touch screen solution with a loss of features from previous MS mobile device platforms. It has a business model which requries the intersection of the hardware Vendor, Microsoft and the mobile operator before releasing features to users.

WP7 may rock on another device, but the Trophy is not it. I wonder what the WP7 flagship is?

Was keen to bring the Trophy back into regular service now that it has Internet Sharing, however, I had two disconnects and handset reset during the day, and found it anecdotally slower. I ran it through the speed test (for what that’s worth) using the same VF SIM in both, also ran a test with the the XT Galaxy S2.



Edit: These tests were "best of 3" and I appreciate that is not a sufficient sample in frequency, time of day or location to be used in evidence. This is just an observation from Auckland CBD. Although "best of 3", each test had negligable variation. In retrospect I should have posted the middle result.

i wouldnt necessarily read too much into that.   perhaps you sat each phone down in slightly different places when running your test. here is my 'middle' result running tests from my htc trophy with 2deg connectoin:

Can you put that same SIM in anther phone (2Degrees packet data performance reports I've heard are quite good, so you maybe enjoying network performance over handset).

In which case there's no reason to compare handsets if you know your mobile provider is not up to the task at hand.

Pardon? If you're employer supplies the SIM, one has to do the best they can with it.

I'm saying exactly what you are saying, in other words.

This is a very uncharacteristic response from you, I suspect I've hit a raw nerve with the Microsoft product.
