The HTC Shift Evo 4G is an Android 2.2 smart phone capable of 4G Internet connections. Better yet, the Shift Evo is capable of acting as a wired or wireless modem using tethering applications. In order to tether the HTC Shift Evo, you must first root the phone in order to install your own ROM. Once your phone is rooted, you just have to install an Android Wi-Fi tethering application that will transform the phone into a mobile, Wi-Fi hotspot. The HTC Shift Evo can also act as a wired modem using the USB or serial port.
Now, some of you readers might think that this is a dangerous process, but many people are able to root their phone without any problem. Generally the worse that can happen is that the rooting will fail and there have been no reports of users breaking their phones in the attempt.
