I have a HTC Touch Pro Smart Phone. I had purchased it recently. Now I owned a laptop. I know to setup a HTC phone and use the internet via it. But is there a way by which I can use the mobile modem as a router and share a local network and internet connection. I had heard somewhere that it is possible by it. But what are the requirements for this. And also what are the features of this mobile phone. Other than what is mentioned what more service does it provides.

The wi-fi hardware in the phone enables you to connect to a network and the same you can use via your system by some configuration. The phone has a wi-fi enabled function which gives you a liberty to access internet near access points or hotspots. It is very easy to configure.
