Windows Phone: Internet Sharing Feature Now Available on HTC Mozart after Firmware Revision.
Last week I blogged about the firmware update I received for my HTC Mozart running Mango RTM. Here is the quick summary.
I received 2 updates. First it updated Firmware from 2250.21.40600.707 to 2250.21.50001.707 on 8th Oct. https://blogs.technet.com/b/aviraj/archive/2011/10/08/htc-firmware-update-for-windows-phone.aspx?ocid=aff-n-in-loc--aa
And Second updated Firmware from 2250.21.50001.707 to 2250.21.51001.707 on 21st Oct https://blogs.technet.com/b/aviraj/archive/2011/10/21/htc-update-for-windows-phone.aspx?ocid=aff-n-in-loc—aa
UPDATE
After installing this firmware update, as seen in the screenshot, it upgraded Firmware. Firmware revision from 2250.21.50001.707 to 2250.21.51001.707.
New Feature: INTERNET SHARING feature is now enabled on my HTC Mozart. You can connect up to 5 Guests i.e. 5 users can connect.
To enable INTENRET SHARING. Just to go Settings –> INTENRNE SHARING is now available. This will make your HTC Phone as a Wireless Broadcast Device.
For security you can setup a Password with Min. 8 characters.
Enjoy

"One last thing. Next week we’ll start delivering some model-specific “firmware”" The week has come and gone and still no one seems to have the HTC Mozart firmware updates as 'Someone' suggested I think it is an internal update for MSFT.Anonymous
