My decision to get the Nexus is entirely dependent upon this question. On day one, when I get the phone in the mail, will I be able to use it as a wireless hotspot without paying Verizon the ridiculous fee, just like I do now with my Incredible on CM7? I can deal without the nice notification power widget and having it baked into the ROM, and go back to using the WT app. That doesn't bother me. I just need to know if I will be able to root the phone, install wireless tether, and have it work.
Please, I've been through the forums searching for an answer, and I know all the "should" cases. I'm looking for someone who has already bought the phone, taken it home, and connected something to it wirelessly and pulled down 4G speeds without paying for something I already pay for.
I'm not looking for a moral argument on the merits of paying Verizon extra money to use my laptop to look at the same website on it rather than my phone. I live in the middle of nowhere and my phone is my sole source of connectivity.
So, in short;
Thanks!

So, in short;
Does tethering work right now?
Can you pull down 4G speeds?
Root required?
Is this mythical Verizon background service real?
Bonus points: Does PDANet work?
