[Q] What's the bottom line on hot spot function?

[OldMike60]

I am still using an HTC Tilt2 with WMWifi, which allows me to put the phone into hot spot mode and access the internet using my unlimited data plan, which is NOT tethered, for $30 a month. This is the data plan intended for email, etc. The folks at the ATT store tell me I am grandfathered as long as I keep my account. WM7 looks like a loser, and my HTC is getting buggy. So would like to switch to the Captivate. On line reviews indicate that the wifi function works great, but I read (and hear from the sales folks at ATT) that that has been removed on the Captivate; just too much value I guess. Anyway, I just need to know if there is a path to having this function on a Captivate. Will root it if I have to, but prefer an app-only solution if possible.

If you flash Cognition you'll have usb and wifi tethering.
