Samsung Windows Phone 7 can tether over USB

Omnia 7 and Focus owners can glow in the light of a finding by HDBlog.it (an Italian blog) which makes tethering possible despite Microsoft’s denial of the same at the Wndows Phone 7 launch event. This however works only for Samsung WP7 owners currently and we have to wait and see whether it can be achieved for other WP7 models.

Tethering basically means connecting your phone to a data device (generally a laptop) using a data cable thereby using the phone’s wireless connection (to its network) for connecting to the internet on the laptop. As opposed to using internet on phone, carriers generally charge more for internet use through tethering.
