Saw this posted in another forum:

Telefoni UMTS e Smartphone - Vodafone

It supposedly offers tethering (by Wifi and cable) but I can't tell if it's something you have to pay extra for or if tethering is included in most prepaid data plans -- in the US, carriers charge extra so Android users root their phones and install software that tethers without going through the approved means.

Can't tell if it's locked either only to Vodaphone.

Will be interesting to see user reviews and maybe see if they come out with a way to root it, as they do for popular Android models.
