I tried everything to get a windows mobile phone (HTC touch pro 2 aka tilt 2) to work. I pay for tethering.

WMWifirouter (aka JoikuSpot for WMobile) doen't work. The developer says its a hardware limitation and that only ad-hoc is possible.

There seems to be some hinting that the HTC HD2 will do infrastructure mode (which should work) but no proof and no way to port this to the TP2.

I did find a messy workaround. I use conectify on my laptop to create an infrastructure hotspot and then tether my phone to my laptop via USB. Not pretty but it works (of course if I have to have my laptop on I may as well use it, but it does allow me to buy mags and newspapers and have them delivered to my kindle in a pinch.)

In the end I think I need to return this thing and get the 3G version. Its just not worth the trouble.
