Please use this thread to discuss tethering your 6800 to a PC. (I will unlock the thread once the 6800 is released)

I was told this should work via bluetooth or USB, any lucky with anyone yet?

Gizmodo reported:

Most importantly I'd like to hear the feedback in regards to this inconjunction with Windows Vista as I have Vista on both a notebook and my desktop.

I was never able to find a Vista driver file for my old 6600 and could only get it to work on XP...

I was able to briefly test a friend's Mogul with Vista today. I didn't set up a partnership, but Vista recognized it and I was able to install Voice Command 1.6 and test it out. Everything seemed fine. I'll know more when I get mine.

I am teathering through my Mogul right now as I post this. I'm on Windows XP SP2 using USB. All I had to do was go to the Internet Sharing application and select Sprint PCS as the Network Connection. It made me reboot the machine as it must've installed a driver, but once I got up it worked. I did notice it say a couple of times that I had an invalid username/password, but they may have just been a fluke.

As a test I am getting a steady 70KB/s downloading on EVDO with 3 bars.

I am assuming that the 6800 (as opposed to the 6700) is a PAM device so that Sprint knows when you are tethering?

I just tried playing around with it again. Very flakey for me in teathering. Once you're connected it works great, but it's a crapshoot to get on.

Not sure. I believe so, but I don't have any PAM service and was able to teather..so perhaps they still don't mind that much?

I just installed PdaNet on my Mogul. It seems to work great, as with all the other Windows Mobile devices I've tried it on. I already own the software from previous devices, and it's so easy to use I just keep installing it. I think it's definitely worth the money.

It is dual NAI and thus PAM aware, like all of Sprint's new devices. You do not need a PAM plan to tether. Without a plan, tethering will be billed by the kilobyte. I'm not sure what the rate is currently, but last time I looked, it was $0.0015/KB (about $1.50/MB). People should be careful with their tethering usage, or they will be in for big surprises when their next bill comes.

EDIT: If you are on a PAM plan, the overage is $0.001/KB, and the maximum monthly charge is $70. Not sure if there's a cap if you're not on a plan, but some sources say it is still capped at $70.
