which I documented) at our Android/Arduino meetup this past weekend. It will
take about 1 (if everything goes smoothly) to 3 hours (if you have trouble
downloading, or whatever, as I did) to get your phone going -- but it is
worth it. CyanogenMod has worked really well for me -- rock solid -- and no
bugs that I've found with my usage. And tethering is built in. And so is
using your phone as a hotspot for up to 5 other computers.
