Great, did anyone try it? The trial and the full version?
Hows the full version? Worth the bet?

Thanks guys!

I've tried the trial, it works pretty well. Some things do not work on the trial version, for example I think you cannot browse https sites without the full version. Not sure if many other alternatives exist if you are not rooted though!

Without root you can use Proxoid (free) or PDAnet ($29) and you need to have the phone connected by USB cable. Proxoid does have limited functionality.

If you have root you can tether properly via wifi with aNetShare (free), android-wifi-tether (free) or tether Wifi (~$9).
