Now that I rooted my X, is there a way to use the phone as a 3G mobile hotspot without paying Verizon the $20 a month?
I like barnacle.... it tells you total up and down during each session.

Does Barnacle work without root access? I couldn't seem to find it in the Market.
Hmmmm. Any other options out there? I used to use Tether on my Storm 2 and it was awesome.
I want to root the phone, but am going to wait until the Froyo update to do so. I'm not all that savvy on that stuff.

If you're really just after free tethering, EasyRoot is a simple one click button that roots the phone. You don't need to change anything else. Just download Barnacle and you're golden. The whole thing will take you 5 minutes. If you need to un-root later, you launch EasyRoot and click the one button again and your un-rooted. The risk associated with rooting comes if/when you decide to start removing system apps or possibly getting fancy with some overclocking stuff. You get to decide how far to take it.
Has Verizon ever done anything to actively block this solution for free wireless tethering? It's so easy, that I'm surprised they haven't tried to get this blocked on their phones. Maybe I'm just a bit too accustomed to AT&T & iPhone business practices, but it just seems like this is going to have a direct effect on the Verizon bottom line.
