Your phone charges and tethers at the same time.

Care to explain how this tethering method works?
The main site is non english, I can't find documentation for the tethering.

I figure it out.
Here's for others:

Go to help.benm.at on your iphone scroll down to "tethering & internet settings" select "Mobileconfigs download >" find your carrier select install and enjoy your internet tethering via bluetooth or USB.

anyone try this yet?

thats what I used for a while but in the 3.1 OS you can't unless jailbroken. If jailbroken you can use My-Wi. That works best in my opinion because you have 3 connection options: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB

Just wanted to update you guys, Tethering works on 3.1.2, jailbroken. Not sure if it would work without a jailbreak, but I followed Ben's guide. I think it's better than PDANet or MyWi since it's the iPhone's "native" tethering, and it's free.
