After weeks of conflicting statements, Microsoft has confirmed that tethering support will not be included in the forthcoming release of Windows Phone 7. The latest confirmation follows a previous statement from Brandon Watson, Microsoft’s Director of Windows Phone 7 made during the This Week in Tech podcast this week inferring that tethering support was included in the operating system and would be left up to carriers to enable the functionality in launch devices.

This just makes my decision of choosing android even smarter. First they announce that wp7 won’t be on cdma till 2011, no copy and paste, and now no tethering. Unbelievable. What else are they going to announce? How is this suppose to be a revolution of a phone with all these missing features that come standard on all smartphones? Hopefully someone will unlock the phone soon and maybe add these features. I was looking forward to give microsoft another chance after using wm for years. I guess we’ll see.
