Does anyone know (for sure) if the iPhone can act as a wireless modem? I know my past few phones were "technically" not supposed to be able to do this, but I got them all working and was able to use them in remote places to pretend to be working.

Anyways, this is a top-ten feature for me, and its reflective of how much mobile operators are a bunch of idiots when they cripple this capability. It would be too bad to watch Apple prevent this as well...

Unknown about the iPhone but ATT doesn't cripple their other phones. I can use my RAZR as a modem. EDGE is pretty slow though.
