Looks like Windows Phone 7 Mango will be getting a mobile hotspot feature.

I for one am looking forward to that. I can use it to quickly get online with my laptop when no WiFi is available. I have an android device (Samsung 551) that can do hotspot as well, but my Samsung Focus is my main device and its a pain having to SIM swap.
